Graham Cracker Crust

Heat oven to 350.

In medium bowl or food processor, combine all ingredients until well mixed. Reserve 3 Tbsp crumb mixture for garnishing top of pie before serving, if desired. Press remaining mixture firmly against the bottom and sides of a 9 inch glass pie plate. Use a ramekin or flat bottom measuring cup if necessary.

Bake about 10 minutes or until light brown; cool. Fill as directed in pie recipe.

For a cookie crumb crust:

Substitue 1-1/2 cups finely crushed chocolate or vanilla wafer cookies or gingersnaps for the graham crackers. Decrease butter to 1/4 cup; omit sugar.
