Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using). Mix thoroughly.
Drizzle the melted butter and honey over the dry ingredients. Stir with a fork or spatula until the mixture is evenly moistened and holds together when pressed.
Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to press the mixture firmly and evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the dish.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until it begins to lightly brown and smell fragrant. Avoid over-baking, as it will harden as it cools.
Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool completely before adding any fillings.
Use this crust for your favorite no-bake or baked pie recipes. Enjoy!
