Everyone may think that I’m exaggerating when I say that this is the ‘Absolute Best’ Graham Cracker Crust, but really, I’m not! And, the best thing about it, it’s super simple and only 3 ingredients. It takes a couple more minutes more than just buying a crust at the store, but once you taste it, you won’t go back.
I typically like to just buy a store bought crust from the store because it’s easier and quicker. But, the other day when I went to the store and I was wanting to get a couple graham cracker crust for a couple different pie recipes that I was wanting to work on. Well, they didn’t even have 1 crust. So, I picked up a box of graham crackers instead.
Now, that I’ve tasted the homemade version, I don’t know if I’ll ever buy a store bought crust again. It does take a few extra steps than just buying one, but the taste is definitely worth it!
This crust is perfectly sweet and sets up great! Plus, it’s no bake!
My mom said that she could just eat the crust by itself and maybe topped with some whipped cream. I completely agree! Or, maybe add some sliced up strawberries to the crust then some whipped cream topping! Yum! Or, if you don’t like strawberries, you could add blueberries, blackberries, mixed berries or maybe a can of peaches or a can of apple pie filling or cherry pie filling or pumpkin! I can’t stop, because the options are endless, LOL!

Ingredients –
It just takes 3 simple ingredients –
Like I said, it’s just 3 simple ingredients.
- Butter
- Sugar
- Graham Crackers
This recipe will do a regular size 9” pie pan or just the bottom layer of a 9” x 13” pan.
Put you graham crackers in a plastic bag and crush them. I used a rolling pin. If you have a food processor, that would be the easiest.
You want the crumbs to be as fine as possible.
I just dump all of the ingredients into the dish that I will be using for the dessert.
Mix the sugar into the graham cracker crumbs.
Melt butter and pour over the mixture.
Mix well and press out over the pan.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before filling to allow the butter to set.
