graham crust

Crumbly pie foundation

A graham crust is a pie or cheesecake base made from crushed graham crackers mixed with butter and sugar, then pressed into a pan and baked or chilled until firm.

The sweet, slightly honeyed flavor pairs especially well with cream pies, cheesecakes, and Key lime pie: The recipe calls for a graham crust rather than traditional pastry.
