Cinnamon Graham Crust Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• In medium bowl, combine crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix well and press into 10 inch pie plate.
• Bake 6-8 minutes.
• Remove from oven and cool completely. Pour caramel into shell and refrigerate.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
• Add apples and stir until apples are covered.
• Let simmer for 15-20 minutes with lid on skillet until apples are tender.
• Let apples cool and pour them into the pie crust.
• Top with whipped cream and drizzle with remaining caramel topping.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine cracker crumbs and sugar in a bowl, then add the butter and optional cinnamon.
• Stir with a fork until crumbs are moistened.
• Empty the mixture in the pie plate, then pat and press mixture evenly all around the bottom and sides of the plate.
• Before filling, either bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes or chill for about an hour.
• (You simply want the crust to be firm and both baking and chilling will do that, although I prefer baking.).

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees and place oven rack in the middle of the oven.
• Throughly mix ingredients for crust.
• Press them into the bottom of a 9" spring form pan (10" ok too). Do sides too if you can.
• Chill the crust about one hour or more.
• Combine eggs, cream cheese, sugar, salt, flour, vanilla extract, almond extract and beat until smooth with an electric mixer at medium speed.
• Now blend in sour cream. Don't over beat the mixture as this causes air to get into the batter and causes cracks later.
• Pour this mixture into the crust and bake, on a middle oven rack about 60 minutes, until it sets. It will lightly brown and not jiggle much when moved. (I used a cookie sheet with some water in it and I put foil around the bottom of the spring form pan). Do not open the oven within the first 30 minutes of cooking.
• Let cake cool on a wire rack at room temperature completely, and then chill in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours.
• Invert the cake to serve, so that the crumbs are on the top. Serve like this or with the glaze on top or along side.
• For the Glaze: Cook the berries in 3/4 cup water until simmering.
• Mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup water and pour into berry mixture and add sugar. Bring to a boil, stir constantly, until thick and clear, a couple of minutes. Add the red food coloring if using strawberries.
• Chill the glaze and coat the top of the cake or serve along side the cake.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the crumbs and sugar; add butter and blend well. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. pie plate., Refrigerate for 30 minutes before filling, or bake at 375° until crust is lightly browned, 8-10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack before filling.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F.
• Combine 1 cup graham crumbs, 1/2 of the butter and 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar; press onto bottom of 10-inch cast-iron skillet sprayed with cooking spray. Combine remaining graham crumbs and butter with nuts, cinnamon and 1/4 cup of the remaining granulated sugar; reserve for later use.
• Beat cream cheese with vanilla and remaining granulated sugar in large bowl with mixer until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended.
• Pour 2 cups batter over crust; sprinkle with 1/2 of the reserved graham crumb mixture. Top with 1/2 of the remaining batter; sprinkle with remaining graham crumb mixture. Cover with remaining batter; smooth top with back of spoon. Place skillet on baking sheet, then place in oven.
• Bake 50 to 55 min. or until center of cheesecake is almost set. Cool completely. Refrigerate 4 hours. Whisk powdered sugar and milk until blended. Spread over top of cheesecake.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F.
• Mix ingredients until blended; press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan.
• Bake 10 min. Cool completely before filling.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Melt butter in 9" pie pan while oven is pre-heating.
• Mix together crushed Cinnamon Crisp graham crackers, chopped pecans and brown sugar.
• Add to melted butter in pie pan and mix well. Gently push up sides and on to bottom of pan.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly.
• In a large bowl combine cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, the eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla and lemon peel. Mix with electric mixer until well blended and then mix another couple of minutes longer. This seems to fluff it up a bit.
• Pour into graham cracker crust and bake for about 30 minutes until it looks set and is firm to the touch. Do not overbake as it will crack on top.
• While the cheesecake is baking mix together sour cream, 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla until well blended and sugar has disolved.
• Remove cheesecake from oven and pread sour cream mixture over cheesecake. Refrigerate for at least four hours.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Mix cream cheese & sugar until fluffy. Add cinnamon & vanilla; continue mixing. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well between each egg.
• Stir in sour cream.
• Pour into prepared graham cracker crust & bake for 50 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes then refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Crust:
• Mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles course ground cornmeal. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time. Roll out 2/3 of dough for bottom crust and place into pie pan. Roll out last 1/3 of dough and cut into strips for lattice top crust. On parchment paper or cookie sheet, weave the strips to form lattice. Set aside.
• For topping: mix cracker crumbs, brown sugar and flour. Cut in butter until crumbly. Set aside.
• For filling: combine apples, lemon juice, sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Spoon apple filling into crust.
• Sprinkle cracker topping over apples.
• Slide lattice crust over top of pie. Fold edges of bottom crust over ends of lattice crust, pressing to seal. Brush lattice strips with egg wash.
• Fold foil strips around edges of crust and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for an additional 40 minutes or until apples are bubbling and crust is browned. While still hot, drizzle pie with Caramel Butterscotch Ice Cream Topping. Cool the pie before serving. Top with Caramel Pecan Cream Sauce.
• Pour whipping cream into a deep bowl. With electric mixer, whip the cream on high, adding sugar a little at a time. When the cream is whipped, continue to beat on medium, while you add the caramel. Fold in pecans. (The cream will reduce a bit, giving you a smooth, creamy sauce to pour over the pie.) Refrigerate before serving over the pie.
