Graham Cracker Crust

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly butter your pie pan.

2. 2

   Break up the crackers coarsely with your hands, dropping them into a food processor.

3. 3

   Add the brown sugar and process into a fine meal.

4. 4

   Transfer the meal to a large mixing bowl and add the cinnamon, if using, and salt.

5. 5

   Add the melted butter and incorporate well: mix first with a fork, then switch to your hands and rub everything together thoroughly to form evenly dampened crumbs.

6. 6

   Spread the crumbs evenly and loosely in the pan, then press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides.

7. 7

   Dont worry about getting them too high up the sides-three-quarters of the way is fine.

8. 8

   Bake on the center oven rack for 8 to 10 minutes.

9. 9

   Let cool on a wire rack before filling.
