  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter melted
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Instructions
 

  • You can crush your graham crackers in a food processor. Or you can place the sheets of graham crackers in a large freezer bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they are fine crumbs.

Notes

You can make this crust up to 2 days in advance! Once you have pressed the crust mixture in your pie pan wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and place in the fridge until you are ready to use.
 
If your crust mixture is too buttery, try to add an additional 1/4 cup of graham cracker crumbs. On the flip side if your crust is too dry, add 1-2 tbsp of extra melted butter, and work from there.
 
To make this recipe less messy you can wear kitchen-grade gloves while mixing and pressing the crust!
 
You can also make this recipe in a square pan or tart pan.
