How to Make Homemade Graham Cracker Crust

I am often surprised by the amount of money they charge for a premade graham cracker crust. The pie crust normally costs more than it would cost to make 4 pies. With graham cracker, butter and sugar, you can have the perfect homemade graham cracker crust. No need to run to the store and you can control exactly what is in it. Simply crush the crackers, add the sugar and press it together with butter. Bake the pie crust while putting together the pie filling.

Mini Key Lime Pies

While this key lime pie recipe is made to be served as a whole pie, it can easily be changed to mini key lime pies. Whether you decide to make mini homemade graham cracker crusts or decide to buy them, these pies are so easy to make. Simply use the same recipe and add the pie filling into the mini shells. Baking time will be slightly different since the size of the pies are different. Check them closely for doneness.

Key Limes are tarter and more aromatic than regular limes. Also called Mexican or West Indian limes, they are slightly yellow and have more seeds than limes. The flavors are different and it does not always work when swapping limes in place for key limes.
