Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (approximately 13–14 full cracker sheets)
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 8 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350° F (175° C).
2. In a large bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, chopped pecans, dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon until well combined and no sugar clumps remain.
3. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumb-pecan-sugar mixture is evenly coated.
4. Transfer the mixture to a pie plate or baking pan and press it evenly into the bottom and along the sides.
5. On the middle rack, bake the crust for about 8-10 minutes or until lightly brown and golden.
6. Set on a wire cooling rack and cool completely before adding your filling.
