Instead of purchasing a crust, make your own graham cracker crust with just three everyday ingredients. —Janaan Cunningham

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups crushed graham cracker crumbs (24 squares)
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the crumbs and sugar; add butter and blend well. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. pie plate.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes before filling, or bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until crust is lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack before filling.

When my brother was a teenager (many moons ago) he used to mix the crumbs, sugar and butter together and then just eat it out of the bowl for a snack. Delicious.

Works every time!-- For a chocolate crust, melt 1/4 cup of butter with 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips --

"Best tasting crust!" My teenage son's opinion of a simple no-frills pudding pie. This quick crust recipe makes even simplest pie feelings great. Did not bake it. This classic crust is perfect for any no-bake desserts! As a volunteer field editor or Taste of Home magazine I love using simple ingredients and creating dishes that simply impress!

Made this easy-to-make basic crust for a pumpkin chiffon pie. Doesn't get any better or easier!

This is a great, easy graham crust. I make a 13x11 cheesecake for the holidays and this fit the bill perfectly!
