Graham Cracker Crust Extraordinaire
"I needed a graham cracker crust so I started with the recipe on the back of the Nabisco Graham Cracker crumbs box & did some embellishing. I also cut the sugar in half. Baking for just 5 minutes 'sets' the crust and when I baked the pie, it did not burn/overcook. The results were OOH LA LA."

One of the BEST crusts I've made in a LOOOOONG time. I made one little tweek in the fact that I used the actual graham cracker instead of the crumbs. I find it comes out a much lighter crust and a nicer crunch to it. Thanks again for this recipe too! -
I was looking for a graham cracker crust to make recipe#172989 and found this one. It was so easy and very good, I followed the directions exactly and for me the baking time was right on. Very good, easy to make and so much better than the store bought prepared ones. -
I love this crust! I used it for a an 11 x 7-inch pan cheescake, I had a little too much crust for the size of the pan so I had to remove about 1/3 cup crumbs, not a problem I will freeze and use it for another time, thanks for sharing Bethie!...Kitten :)

Very good crust. The sugar is not in the direction but I added it with the graham cracker crumbs. I baked it near 12 minutes. Probably 2 minutes too much cause it was beginning to burn. I made a lemon pie in it. Thanks Elmotoo :) Made for PAC spring 2011
