Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
Use a food processor to grind the graham crackers down to a fine crumb
In a large bowl, mix 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of melted butter and a pinch of your favorite warm spice in with the graham cracker crumbs until everything is evenly distributed
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased pie pan, springform pan or cast iron skillet and press out evenly throughout the bottom and sides of the vessel keeping the sides as thick as the bottom
Your options for prepping this crust are...

- Adding the filling and baking them together.
- Chilling the crust for 30 minutes in a refrigerator or freezer before adding no-bake filling.
