Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, rolled oats, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix well until evenly distributed.
Step 3
Pour the melted butter over the mixture and stir until the crumbs and oats are evenly moistened and the mixture starts to clump together.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie pan or springform pan. Use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to firmly press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pan to form an even crust.
Step 5
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until it is slightly golden and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before adding your desired filling.
Step 6
The crust is now ready to use for pies, cheesecakes, or other desserts. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
