Easy Press-In Pie Crust

By cheeserohan

Ingredients

• 6 ounces cookies (about 12 graham crackers, 46 vanilla wafers, or 30 chocolate wafers, such as Famous)
• 3 Tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
• 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350F. In a food processor, pulse cookies until firmly ground (you should have about 1 1/2 cups). Add sugar, salt, and butter and pulse until combined.

2. Firmly press crumb mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate. (If using a springform pan, press crumbs halfway up sides.) Bake until crust is dry and set, about 12 minutes. Let cool completely in plate on a wire rack before filling.
