Ingredients
Gluten-Free Graham Cracker Crust
- 1 ½ cup gluten-free graham cracker crumbs 8 ounces
- 3 Tablespoons light brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Gluten-Free Graham Cracker Crust
- Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the graham cracker crumbs with the brown sugar and salt. Add the melted butter and stir until the crumbs are evenly moistened. The mix will still be very crumbly.
- Press the crumbs evenly over the bottom and up the side of the pie pan. Use the bottom of a small glass to press the crust down and move it to the sides.
- Bake the crust for about 10 minutes, until just set. Let cool completely.
Notes
- Crushing Crackers: Place whole crackers in a food processor and pulse until broken up. Or place them in a zip-loc bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Make Ahead: Keep the prepared crust, cover with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before using it in your recipe.
- What Size Pan Does This Crust Fit? Use an 8-inch or 9-inch pie dish for side coverage. For bottom coverage only use a cake pan or springform pan up to 10 inches for this recipe. Make 1.5x to 2x for use in deep dish pie pans and larger dishes like a 9x13 inch.
- Graham Crackers: Use homemade graham crackers or store-bought. You can also use chocolate flavor graham crackers depending on your dessert recipe. You can substitute gluten-free Oreos, Lance butter crackers, or GF vanilla wafers in this recipe.
