This easy graham cracker crust has a kick of candied ginger in it - perfect with summer fruits.12 whole graham crackers

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Yield: 1 9-inch pie crust or similar

Ingredients:

  • 1 – 2 Tbsp. crystallized or candied ginger
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 3 Tbsp. melted butter
  • 1 egg white

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 350. Pulse graham crackers in a food processor (or use a rolling pin to crush them while they are sealed in a sealable plastic bag). Add ginger, sugar, and salt and pulse to combine.
  2. With the processor running, add the melted butter and then the egg white. The mixture should quickly form into a mass much like wet sand. (You can do this by simply stirring by hand instead of using a food processor, if you like.)
  3. Press mixture into a pie pie, tart pan, or free-form on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake until set, about 15 minutes. Fill or top warm or let crust cool first, according to the recipe.
