Basic Graham Cracker Crust

Directions

1. 1
   Combine cracker crumbs and sugar in a bowl, then add the butter and optional cinnamon.
2. 2
   Stir with a fork until crumbs are moistened.
3. 3
   Empty the mixture in the pie plate, then pat and press mixture evenly all around the bottom and sides of the plate.
4. 4
   Before filling, either bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes or chill for about an hour.
5. 5
   (You simply want the crust to be firm and both baking and chilling will do that, although I prefer baking.).
