1 nine-inch pie crust
ingredients

- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
directions
- Preheat oven to 350°.

- In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbs, butter, cinnamon, and salt; stir until the crumbs are moistened.
- Press the mixture evenly across the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate and all the way up the sides of the pan, packing it tightly with your fingertips so it is even and compacted.
