Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons vegan butter , melted
  • ¼ cup brown sugar , loosely packed

Instructions

  • Place graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until coarse crumbs form. If you don't have a food processor, place the crackers in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin the press and roll over the crackers until crumbs are formed.
  • Add the melted vegan butter and sugar and pulse until combined. This mixture will be thick and have a sandy texture.
  • Pour crumbs into a pie pan or springform pan (for a vegan cheesecake). Use the back of a measuring cup, a glass, or a rubber spatula to press crumbs into the pan and up the sides. This crust mixture will fit a 9 to 10-inch pan.
  • To pre-bake, bake in a preheated oven set to 350°F/175°C for 8 to 9 minutes. If the crust is for a no-bake pie, refrigerate for 1 hour before filling.

Freezing Tips: You can freeze this pie crust by preparing it and allowing it cool completely. Next, wrap the cooled crust in a freezer bag or place it in a  freezer-safe container. Freeze the crust in the pan for up to 3 months. Thaw the pie crust before adding the filling.
