Teddy Graham Crust

Yesterday, I decided to use up my whipping cream and make Rachel's S'more pie for our book club. I had a store bought crust that I managed to dump in the sink which left me in a bind because I already had my pie ingredients on the stove and no car, a blizzard outside and no graham crackers. After scouring my pantry, I finally found a bag of honey flavored teddy grahams that proved to be a really yummy substitute for regular graham crackers. Here's what I came up with:

1 1/2 cups finely crushed Teddy Grahams
6 T. melted butter
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar.

Mix them all together, press into your pan and bake at 375 for about 7 minutes.
The crust tastes more like a cookie and was the perfect complement to the S'more pie.
