Perfecto Graham Cracker Crust . . . Works for Me Wednesday

works for me wednesday at we are that family


Here is my recently discovered trick for making perfect graham cracker crusts....use a measuring cup to press the crust mixture into the pie pan!



Using a measuring cup helps keep the crust even, makes the sides pretty and keeps your fingers from getting buttery.  (Not that buttery fingers were ever a BAD thing.)



{If you're so inclined, you can even lick the bottom of the measuring cup when you're finished. I'm not saying I did that.}



This is a great recipe for graham cracker crust...I used it again this week for Mr. E's birthday pie.  More on that later....



Graham Cracker Crust

{source: Betty Crocker Cookbook (Bridal Edition) }



1 and 1/2 cup finely crushed graham cracker crumbs

1/3 c. butter, melted (I used salted)

3 TBSP sugar



Preheat oven to 350.



Combine all of the ingredients.  Press into the bottom and sides of a 9" pie pan. 

Bake 10 minutes.  Let cool completely before filling.



So simple and utterly yummy!  Graham Cracker Crust works for me!  What's working for YOU this week?
