Cracker Pie Crust Recipe

American · Dessert · 18 min total

A buttery, salty-sweet crust made from crushed crackers, perfect for no-bake pies or cheesecakes. This easy recipe uses saltines for a crisp texture that complements creamy fillings.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups finely crushed saltine crackers (about 40 crackers)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional, if using unsalted crackers)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine crushed crackers, sugar, and salt (if using).
3. Pour melted butter over the mixture and stir until all crumbs are evenly moistened.
4. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to pack it tightly.
5. Bake for 8 minutes, until lightly golden and fragrant. Let cool completely before filling.
6. If using for a no-bake pie, you can skip baking; just chill the crust for 30 minutes before filling.

Tips

• For a sweeter crust, use graham crackers or vanilla wafers instead of saltines.
• Store baked crust in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free crackers.
