1.5 c graham crackers crushed
1/4 c sugar
6 tbsp butter melted
1/2 tsp cinnamon * optional - or others work well to add flavor like 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice for pumpkin pie, or 1/4 tsp nutmeg + 1/4 tsp cinnamon for apple pie

Crush the graham crackers or you can use other cookies like Nilla wafers, gingerbread cookies etc... in a food processor or in a bag until you get a fine sand like consistency.
Melt butter and add other ingredients into a bowl. Incorporate with the back of a fork until you get a wet sand consistency. * add seasonings into mix if you choose to add cinnamon etc...
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Dump mixture into nonstick pie pan and use your hands or the bottom of a mixing cup to press firmly into the pan so it is the same thickness all the way across and up on to the sides if you want.
Bake for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool for 15 minutes if you are going to fill with a filling that then needs to be baked again. If filling with a cold filling allow to cool completely and then fill.
