- 1-1/2 cups crumbs of graham crackers zwieback, vanilla or chocolate wafers or gingersnaps

- 1 tsp cinnamon optional
Crush or grind fine, or crumb in a blender as directed until very fine: 1-1/2 cups crumbs of graham crackers, zwieback, vanilla or chocolate wafers, or gingersnaps.
The flavor of the filling should determine which of the above to use. Stir the powdered sugar into the crumbs until well blended.
Add the melted butter and cinnamon.
Reserve 2 to 3 tablespoons of the crumb mixture. Pat the rest into the pan or press out to the desired thickness. To form the shell and bake, see About Crumb Crusts, above. When the pie is filled, scatter the reserved crumbs as a topping.
