Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cups Finely chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, chopped nuts, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt.

Step 3

Pour the melted butter over the dry mixture and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when squeezed.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan or springform pan. Using the bottom of a measuring cup or the back of a spoon, press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pan to form the crust.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant.

Step 6

Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool completely before filling with your desired pie or cheesecake filling.

Step 7

Once cooled, the crust is ready to use or can be wrapped tightly and stored at room temperature for up to 2 days.
