Cinnamon Graham Cracker Crust Recipes

BASIC GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST

Steps:

• If the recipe you're making requests a baked pie shell, preheat the oven to 375 F.
• For an unbaked pie shell, chill for an hour in the refrigerator before filling. To loosen a chilled crust so it will release from the pie plate easily and in one piece, heat the bottom and sides of the pie plate with a damp kitchen towel which has been rinsed in very hot water.
• For a baked pie shell, bake it for about 8 to 10 minutes. For a firm pie shell, bake it for 10 to 12 minutes, or chill it thoroughly in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
• Place the pie shell on a rack and cool completely before filling.
• Enjoy!
