Graham Cracker Crust - crackers

Method

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly butter your pie pan.
• Break up the crackers coarsely with your hands, dropping them into a food processor.
• Add the brown sugar and process into a fine meal.
• Transfer the meal to a large mixing bowl and add the cinnamon, if using, and salt.
• Add the melted butter and incorporate well: mix first with a fork, then switch to your hands and rub everything together thoroughly to form evenly dampened crumbs.
• Spread the crumbs evenly and loosely in the pan, then press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides.
• Dont worry about getting them too high up the sides-three-quarters of the way is fine.
• Bake on the center oven rack for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Let cool on a wire rack before filling.
