Preheat your oven to 375°F. This helps the crust set quickly and evenly.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and optional cinnamon. Mix well until everything is fully blended and the crumbs look like wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to get a smooth, compact layer.
Bake the crust for 7 minutes until it’s golden and slightly firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes before adding your filling. For no-bake pies, chill the crust for 1 hour instead of baking.
Tips
Always use melted butter—it helps bind the crumbs better.
Don’t skip chilling if you’re making a no-bake pie!
Press the crust firmly to avoid crumbling.
A dash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of nutmeg can add depth.
Avoid overbaking—7 minutes is just right.
Use a glass pie plate for even baking and a beautiful presentation.
