Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Stir well to evenly distribute the sugar.
Step 2
Add the unsalted butter to the bowl. Cut the butter into small cubes so it melts more evenly.
Step 3
Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high power for 30 seconds. Remove the bowl, stir the mixture thoroughly, and microwave for an additional 15-30 seconds, or until the butter is completely melted.
Step 4
Mix the ingredients together until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter and the mixture resembles wet sand.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to a pie dish or other desired dish. Press it firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the dish to create an even crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to help press it down smoothly.
Step 6
Microwave the crust on high power for 30 seconds to help set it in place.
Step 7
Remove the crust from the microwave and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before filling. If desired, you can chill it in the refrigerator to firm up further.
