Nutty Graham Cracker Crust Recipes

GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST I

Steps:

• Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter or margarine, and cinnamon until well blended . Press mixture into an 8 or 9 inch pie plate.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 7 minutes. Cool. If recipe calls for unbaked pie shell, just chill for about 1 hour.

NUT CRUST

Steps:

• Chop walnuts or pecans (I did mine in the blender).
• Melt butter and mix with the nuts in a pie plate.
• Add sugar and salt and pat into bottom of pie pan.
• Oila! Cooking is done, and you're ready to fill your crust.

THE BEST GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST RECIPE

Steps:

• Working in small batches, break the graham crackers into small, dime sized pieces and place ¼ to ½ of the crackers in a food processor. Pulse until the crackers are the size of large, grainy sand. Pour into a large mixing bowl and repeat with the remaining crackers. Do not over process. There may still be larger pieces that can be broken up by hand.
• Pour the pecan bits or chips (very small diced pecans) in a hot frying pan over medium high heat and toast until you can smell the aroma of the pecans. Pour into the bowl with the cracker crumbs. The pecan pieces should be about the same size as the cracker crumbs. (See photos above)
• Combine the crumbs, pecans, sugar, cinnamon and salt together until well mixed.
• Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the crumb mixture while stirring. Continue stirring until all of the crumbs are moistened by the butter.
• Divide the mixture between two pie plates. Reserve about a cup to use as needed to fill "holes" in the crust, if needed.
• Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the pie plate and up the sides. The crust should be about ¼ inch thick or a little more.
• Place the crusts in the refrigerator to chill.

• Combine nuts, brown sugar, and flour in the container of a food processor; process in a number of long bursts until the nuts are very finely chopped.
• Transfer the mixture into a big bowl.
• Run your fingers through the mixture, breaking up any bigger pieces the machine may have missed.
• Stir in the graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, and salt.
• Add in the butter and mix well.
• Mix first with a fork, then with your hands, and rub everything together thoroughly to form evenly dampened crumbs.
• Spread the crumbs evenly and loosely in the pie pan, pressing them into the bottom and up the side.
• Refrigerate 5-10 minutes.
• Place on the center oven rack in a 350° oven and bake 7 minutes.
• Let cool on wire rack before filling.

GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST

Steps:

• If you're starting out with full graham crackers, use a food processor or blender to grind them into fine crumbs. You can also place them in a zip-top bag and crush them into fine crumbs with a little arm muscle and a rolling pin.
• Stir the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar together in a medium bowl, and then stir in the melted butter. The mixture will be thick, coarse, and sandy. Try to smash/break up any large chunks.
• Pour the mixture into an ungreased 8-inch, 9-inch, or 10-inch pie dish, cake pan, springform pan, or square pan. With medium pressure using your hand, pat the crumbs down into the bottom and up the sides to make a compact crust. Do not pack down with heavy force because that makes the crust too hard. Simply pat down until the mixture is no longer crumby/crumbly. Tip: You can use a small flat-bottomed measuring cup to help press down the bottom crust and smooth out the surface, but do not pack down too hard. If making a pie, run a spoon around the bottom "corner" where the edge and bottom meet to help make a rounded crust⁠-this helps prevent the crust from falling apart when you cut slices.
• For a baked dessert, pre-bake this crust per your filling recipe's directions. I usually pre-bake for 10 minutes at 350°F (177°C). For a no-bake dessert, cool the crust completely before using, unless your filling's recipe instructs otherwise.
