Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, rolled oats, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix well until evenly distributed.
Pour the melted butter over the mixture and stir until the crumbs and oats are evenly moistened and the mixture starts to clump together.
Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie pan or springform pan. Use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to firmly press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pan to form an even crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until it is slightly golden and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before adding your desired filling.
The crust is now ready to use for pies, cheesecakes, or other desserts. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
