To create a crust, simply crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs, often using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. These crumbs are then typically mixed with melted butter and sometimes a bit of sugar before being pressed into a pie plate or baking dish. They can also be used whole as a base for layered desserts or enjoyed as a simple snack, perhaps with a spread or alongside fruit.
