Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s start by preparing the crust. In my kitchen, I always find the aroma of freshly crushed graham crackers to be so comforting. Combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter in a mixing bowl until they resemble wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. I love using the bottom of a glass to help pack it down evenly! Once that’s done, pop it in the fridge for about 20 minutes to set. This makes the crust nice and sturdy.
