Ingredients

3 1/2 cups graham crumbs
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Add the graham crumbs and cinnamon to a mixing bowl. Whisk to combined.
Pour the melted butter over the graham crumb mixture.
Use a hand-held mixer to beat the butter evenly into the crumbs. Start off on low speed, and gradually increase until the crumbs are moistened and resemble wet sand.
Transfer the mixture to a pie plate or pan. Using a drinking glass with a flat surface, or a small measuring cup, gently press the mixture around the plate, being sure to push the mixture up the sides.
Don’t apply too much pressure. Once you’re satisfied with the sides, even out the bottom or flat part of your pie plate. This is where I apply more pressure just to get a firm base. You’ll be happy you did when you cut the pie!
Refrigerate for 30-40 minutes to firm up before adding any filling or topping.
