Graham Cracker Pie Crust

Graham Cracker Pie Crust

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted (regular or vegan)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

    1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add all the ingredients in a medium bowl.
    2: Stir until the ingredients are evenly combined.
    3: Press the moistened crumbs firmly in a 9 inch pie pan. You can compact the crumbs more by using the bottom of a small glass.
    4: Bake 8 - 10 minutes.
    5: Cool. The crust is now ready for your no-bake pie filling.

Notes

When I make a pie crust I like to press it in the sides first, and then move to the center.
You can use this pie filling without baking it. Just chill it for an hour so before filing it with a no-bake pie filling.
You can add a bit more maple syrup or melted butter if you want it moister.

Instructions

    1: Add ingredients to a blender or food processor.
