Graham Cracker Pie Crust

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

6 tbsp butter or margarine, melted

1 1/3 (or less, as desired) cups sugar

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

(If you make your own crumbs, pulverize grahams in a blender or food processor; or place them in a ziploc bag (or use saran wrap or parchment paper) and roll into fine crumbs with a rolling pin. )

Mix the crumbs, butter, and sugar. Press the mixture onto the bottom and up the side of your pie plate, using your hand or the back of a spoon.

Bake crust 8 minutes; cool on wire rack.  (Note:  If the recipe calls for an unbaked crumb crust, skip the baking step and just chill it in the refrigerator for an hour.)

Fill according to your recipe.
