Instructions

    6 Tablespoons Melted Butter, 1 Tablespoons Sugar, 1 ½ Cups Gluten-free Graham Cracker Crumbs

  • Go back over the crust using the back of a measuring cup and firmly press the crust together.

For a no-bake graham cracker crust.

  • Cover and chill the gluten-free crust for at least two hours to let the butter set up again before filling.
  • Fill your pie as desired.
  • Keep your gluten-free pie chilled until you are ready to serve.

  • Bake the graham cracker crust for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Remove the crust from the oven and allow it cool completely before filling.

Notes

  • Make sure your graham cracker crumbs are fine. - If your graham cracker crumbs are course, it can make it harder to get a tight crumb on the final crust.
  • Carefully press the crumbs together. - Don't be upset if some of the graham cracker crust doesn't want to stay put. This crust is not a rolled-out dough, so be patient when it comes to pressing the crumbs into place.
  • Pack the crumbs down with the back of a measuring cup. - It doesn't matter if you are making this as a gluten-free no-bake pie or you're going to bake your gluten-free graham cracker crust, packing down the crumbs is a must. To do this, firmly press down with the flat bottom of a measuring cup to pack the crumbs into the bottom. Use your fingers to press the crumbs into the sides of the dish.
  • Pack the crust down again after it bakes.-Packing the crust after it has been baked helps to create a more stable crust that won't crumble as easily when you are slicing your crust.
