Irresistible Graham Cracker Crust Delight

Ingredients

- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it's ready when you are.

2. Prepare the Crust Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of sugar among the crumbs.

3. Add the Butter:
Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients. Add the salt, then mix everything together with a fork until the crumbs are evenly coated and the consistency resembles wet sand.

4. Form the Crust:
Transfer the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan. Using a flat-bottomed glass or measuring cup, firmly press the crumbs into an even layer across the bottom and sides of the pan. Aim for a consistent thickness to ensure even baking.

5. Bake the Crust:
Place the crust in the preheated oven. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. This step helps set the crust and enhances its flavor.

6. Cool the Crust:
Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before adding your desired filling.
