Equipment

  • Digital Food Scale
  • Food Processor
  • 9-Inch Pie Pan

Ingredients
 
 

  • 204 grams honey graham crackers (crushed)
  • 113 grams salted butter (softened)
  • 57 grams cane sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a food processor, add half the graham crackers, butter, and cane sugar. My trick for the ensuring this easily mixes together quickly is adding half the graham crackers, butter on top, then add the sugar right on top of the butter as this helps prevent it from sticking to the sides. Last add in the remaining half of graham crackers. Pulse, and then mix until you have a uniform mixture and there are no chunks of graham crackers or butter.
  • Grease a 9-inch pie pan with butter. Transfer the graham cracker mixture to the pie pan, and lightly press it into the sides first. Use the remaining crust, and press it down into the bottom of the pan.
  • Bake for 5 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Allow to cool completely before using.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
