Alternatively, place the crackers in a Ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to grind them into crumbs. Then, add the the sugar, salt and melted butter and mix together with a rubber spatula.
- Place the mixture in a 9 inch pie dish and pat down with your hands until it covers the sides and bottom of the pan.
- Press down with a flat surface like the bottom of a measuring cup.

Barbara's Notes + Tips
- Make sure the crumbs are evenly mixed with the melted butter to ensure a solid crust.
- Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press the mixture evenly and firmly into the pie pan.
- If you are not baking the crust, then refrigerate the crust for at least 30 minutes to allow the butter to harden.
