Notes
*Nutriton info was calculated using graham crackers. It will vary depending on what kind of crumbs you are using.
Tip:
- Use a flat bottom cup to press the crumbs into the pie plate. It packs them down better than your fingers.
- If you use bread or cake crumbs make sure they are dry and crispy. You can toast them in a 375F oven to dry them out - watch carefully!
- The actual amount of cookies/crackers needed will be different for each variety of cookie or cracker.
- Spray the pie pan with nonstick spray to help the crust slip out easily when serving.
- If your crust doesn't hold together dump it back in the bowl and add a tablespoon or two more melted butter.
