Graham Cracker Pie Recipes

Steps:

• To Make Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well, then stir in softened butter or margarine. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
• Generously grease an 8 inch pie pan. Press graham cracker mixture evenly into pan. Chill until ready to use.
• To Make Filling: In a heavy saucepan, mix together sugar, flour, and salt. Gradually add milk, stirring well. Add egg yolks and whisk until mixture is smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Stir in vanilla extract and allow mixture to cool.
• Pour cooled filling into crust and chill before serving.

Steps:

• Combine crumbs and sugar in medium sized bowl. Stir in the melted butter until thoroughly blended.
• Pack mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan and press firmly to bottom and sides, bringing crumbs evenly up to the rim.
• Chill one hour before filling or bake in a 350 degree oven for 8 minutes, cool, chill and fill.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pulse graham cracker crumbs, butter, sugar, and salt in a food processor until combined.
• Firmly press crumb mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake until crust is fragrant and edges are golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Cream together butter and sugars. Mix in honey. Stir in the flours, salt and cinnamon, and mix until just incorporated. Refrigerate dough for 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Divide dough equally and fill pie pans. Bake in preheated oven until just set.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Mix graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of white sugar, and melted butter together in a bowl. Reserve a couple tablespoons of the cracker mixture to use as garnish. Press the remaining cracker mixture into a 9-inch pie plate to form a crust.
• Place 1/2 cup of sugar, cornstarch, and salt in the top of a double boiler over just-barely simmering water. Slowly stir in the scalded milk, stirring until mixture thickens. Slowly whisk 1/3 of the milk mixture into the beaten egg yolks, then pour the egg mixture back into the double boiler. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly so as not to scramble the eggs. Remove from heat, and cool slightly, then stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, until butter is melted. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie shell. Set aside.
• Beat egg whites until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl. Gradually add 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Spread the meringue over the pie.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the meringue is lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Cool, and sprinkle with the reserved graham cracker mixture before serving.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, combine cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of sugar, butter or margarine, teaspoon of the salt, cinnamon and gelatin, if desired.
• Mix well and press into bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
• Bake at 400°F 8 to 10 minutes; remove and cool on wire rack.
• In top of double boiler, scald milk.
• In small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of the remaining sugar, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and cornstarch; mix well and slowly add to hot milk, beating with wire whisk.
• Cook mixture over hot water, stirring constantly until thickened.
• Cover pan and cook another 10 minutes without stirring.
• Blend a little of the hot mixture into beaten egg yolks; return egg yolk mixture gradually to mixture in double boiler.
• Cook two minutes, stirring constantly.
• Cool; add vanilla and put into cooled crust.
• In medium bowl or electric mixer, add dash salt to egg whites and beat at high speed until soft peaks form.
• Gradually add remaining six tablespoons sugar and beat until meringue forms stiff peaks.
• Spread on top of filling sealing to the edges of the crust.
• Bake at 325°F about 30 minutes, or until meringue is lightly browned.
• Chill before serving.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt. Stir in the melted butter. (Mixture will look like wet sand.) Press into the bottom and up the sides of a standard (not deep-dish) 9-inch pie pan. Fill and bake according to your recipe. (If your recipe calls for a prebaked crust, bake for 6 to 9 minutes at 375 degrees until just lightly browned. Let cool completely on wire rack before filling.)
