Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

In a medium bowl, combine the finely crushed cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until the mixture is evenly moistened and resembles wet sand. (3 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie dish. Using the bottom of a measuring cup or glass, firmly press the crumb mixture evenly over the bottom and up the sides of the dish, creating a uniform crust. (5 minutes)

04

Step
15 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and fragrant, approximately 7-10 minutes. (15 minutes)

05

Step
30 mins

Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before adding your desired filling. (30 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter.
If the crust starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover it with aluminum foil during the last few minutes of baking.
To prevent the crust from sticking, you can lightly grease the pie dish before pressing in the crumb mixture.
Feel free to experiment with different types of crackers for a unique flavor profile.

    I love the salty-sweet combination. It's a nice change from traditional graham cracker crusts.
