Notes

Flavor Variations
You can use Honey, Cinnamon Sugar or Chocolate Graham Crackers to create different flavors crusts
Form The Pie Crust
Once the graham cracker crumbs are moist and sticking together, press the crumbs into a pie plate and pack the rust down to be compact. I love using the bottom of a measuring cup or glass to help press it down, but you can use your hands as well!
No Bake Pie Crust
If your recipe calls for a no bake pie crust, you can chill the crust for at least 2 hours before filling to ensure that the butter has solidified.
Baked Pie Crust
If the recipe calls for a pre-baked pie crust, place the graham cracker crust in a preheated oven at 350 degrees fro 8-10 minutes.
