Love this recipe, I just made this for a no bake cheesecake. There is no reason to buy one when it is this simple. I did use cinnamon & sugar graham crackers thats what I had on hand. Great recipe thanks so much for sharing!

This is quick and easy, and tastes great. I love that it has no added sugar. I used low-fat graham crackers to offset the fat from the butter. This will be my "go-to" graham crust from now on. (I wonder why we thought we needed extra sugar all these years-the fillings are usually sweet enough!)

My DH really enjoyed this made as a lemon pie.He doesn't like hard graham cracker crusts. I made it with soft margarine and didn't melt it, just used a fork and mixed it in. It came out very crumbly. I had to scrape it off the pie pan for each slice as it was still just crumbs, it didn't hold together. I liked being able to make in the micro. I will made it again and use butter next time.I baked for 3 min. and 30 sec. in my 800W micro. --UPDATE. We ate 3/4 of the pie while it was still warm. The crust firmed up nicely when it got cold and held together fine.

Made a very good crust for a last-minute recipe. I will use this regularly, especially now that it's way too hot to get my oven going. This worked well with Marie biscuits/cookies (in lieu of graham crackers, which I could not lay my hands on).
