Step-by-Step Instructions
To kick things off, I start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that my pie crust bakes to perfection. In a medium bowl, I combine the crushed graham crackers, granulated sugar, and melted butter. I mix until it resembles wet sand, then I press it firmly into the bottom and up the sides of my pie dish. It’s a bit of an arm workout, but trust me, it’s worth it once that crust is beautifully golden! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
