Basic Graham Cracker Crust

Originally from the Fanny Farmer Baking Book. I use it for my Lemon Meringue and Key Lime Pies. I don't usually add the cinnamon but it is an option.
SERVES 8 , 1 8 or 9-inch pie crust
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12-14 whole crackers)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 8 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Directions
1
Combine cracker crumbs and sugar in a bowl, then add the butter and optional cinnamon.2
Stir with a fork until crumbs are moistened.3
Empty the mixture in the pie plate, then pat and press mixture evenly all around the bottom and sides of the plate.4
Before filling, either bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes or chill for about an hour.5
(You simply want the crust to be firm and both baking and chilling will do that, although I prefer baking.).

This worked perfectly. Thanks for providing both the cup measure and the number of graham crackers needed for the crumbs. I used the refrigeration method with perfect results.

Made this using McVitie's Digestives - 10 biscuits produced more or less exactly the 1,5 cups needed. Skipped the cinnamon, used in Key Lime Pie, worked perfectly! Thanks Marg!

Excellent all-purpose graham cracker crust. For heaven's sake, use this one, not the store-bought cardboard-tasting ones.

You dont need the cinnamon if you use cinnamon graham crackers to crush! Yummy, thanks for sharing!
