This recipe is included in this book because a graham cracker pie crust is the best base crust to be used for the yummy Banana Cream Pie recipe shown earlier in this book. You can vary the amounts of the ingredients shown. For example, more sugar and butter will produce a heavier less crumb like crust, which you may or may not like.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 to 2 cups of finely ground graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup of white sugar
• 6 tablespoons of butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions:

Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter and cinnamon until well blended. Press the mixture into an 8 or 9 inch pie plate.

Bake at 375ºF for 10 minutes. Cool.

Note: If the recipe calls for an unbaked pie shell then chill the unbaked crust in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
