For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of regular melted butter. If you prefer a less salty crust, reduce the amount of salt to 1/2 teaspoon. This crust pairs exceptionally well with chocolate, caramel, or fruit-based fillings.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie pan. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a food processor, pulse the saltine crackers until finely crushed. Alternatively, place crackers in a large zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin. (5 minutes)
03
StepIn a medium bowl, combine the crushed saltines, sugar, and salt. (2 minutes)
04
StepPour the melted butter and honey over the dry ingredients and mix well until evenly moistened. The mixture should resemble wet sand. (3 minutes)
05
StepPress the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pie pan, using the bottom of a measuring cup to create a compact and uniform crust. Be sure to press the crust up the sides of the pan. (5 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven for 14-16 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and set. (16 minutes)
07
StepRemove from the oven. While the crust is still warm, gently press down on the crust with the bottom of a measuring cup to reshape and even it out, as it may puff up slightly during baking. (2 minutes)
08
StepLet the crust cool completely before adding your desired filling. (30 minutes)
