Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch pie plate and set aside.

  • In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie plate.
