Making your own graham cracker crust is so easy and tastes so much better, you’ll never buy one from the store again!

Homemade Pie Crust

I am all for short cuts in the kitchen, I buy my onion precut and frozen and I love the fresh minced garlic you can buy in the produce section. But when it comes to pie crusts, homemade is always better.  I know some people think making your own pie crust is too much work and too hard but I’m here to tell you, I can make a crust in less time than it takes me to run to the grocery store and buy one!  Whether you are making a pastry pie crust or a graham cracker pie crust, homemade is the way to go!

Graham Cracker Crust in a pie dish

I am a huge fan of graham cracker crusts, it might be my love of graham crackers dunked in milk as a treat that contributes to that but I love them!! Often, I will use a graham cracker crust, even when the recipe calls for a pastry crust like with my French Silk Pie.  I love the sweetness and texture it gives to a pie.

Graham Cracker Crust Ingredients

All you need are three ingredients and if you are like me, you always have them on hand.  Graham crackers are a staple at our house!

  • Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • Sugar
  • Butter

How to Make Homemade Graham Cracker Crumbs

  1. Use a mini food processor or a blender. You will be using 10 sheets of graham crackers (that is two squares to a sheet)
  2. Place broken crackers into the blender or food processor.
  3. Pulse or blend until fine crumbs are formed.

How to Make a Graham Cracker Crust

  • Mix together the crumbs, sugar and butter.

  • Mix together until it is combined and looks like wet sand.
Forming a Graham Cracker Crust
  • Press the crumbs into a 8 or 9 inch pie dish, pushing the crumbs up the sides of the pan also. You can even use a 10 inch dish, the crust will just be a bit thinner and will cook a bit faster.

  • Bake the pie crust in a 350 degrees F oven for 10 minutes until it is lightly golden brown.  Then let the crust cool, add your filling and bake again according to pie directions if needed.
