¼ cupgranulated sugar

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350℉. In a food processor add the graham crackers and process until very finely ground, about 1 minute. If you do not have a processor, crush the graham crackers in a ziplock bag with a rolling pin. Be sure they are very finely crushed, which helps bind the crust together.

Step 2

To the crumbs add the butter, sugar, gluten-free flour, and cinnamon. Process again until very well and uniformly mixed. If making without a processor, transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl and stir all the ingredients together.

Step 3

Dump the mixture into a 9 or 10-inch pie pan, tart pan, or bottom only of a springform pan. Press down firmly and evenly with the bottom of a measuring cup. As you get towards the edges, the excess crumbs will push up the sides. Use your hands to press around edges. (See how-to images in post.) Bake for 10 minutes and cool completely before filling.
