Basic Graham Cracker Crust

Originally from the fanny farmer baking book. I use it for my lemon meringue and key lime pies. I don't usually add the cinnamon but it is an option.

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 350f oven for 8-10 minutes or chill for about an hour.
