For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover it with aluminum foil during the last few minutes of baking. To prevent the crust from sticking, you can lightly grease the pie dish before pressing in the crumb mixture. Feel free to experiment with different types of crackers for a unique flavor profile.
