Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 pinch pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 3

Pour the melted butter into the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly to ensure the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish or tart pan. Use the back of a measuring cup or your hands to firmly press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the dish, creating an even layer.

Step 5

Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the crust is fragrant.

Step 6

Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool completely before filling with your desired topping or pie filling.

Step 7

For no-bake desserts, the crust can be chilled in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set instead of baking.
