- The first thing you are going to need to do is crumble the graham crackers. This can easily be done by placing them in a food processor or putting them in a large ziplock bag and smashing them up with a rolling pin. Approximately 10 crackers sheets equal 1.5 cups.
- Blend the graham cracker crumbs and applesauce in a food processor or blender until a ball forms. If the mixture is dry, add an additional tablespoon of applesauce
- Press the mixture into a nonstick pie pan. There is no baking required.

Notes
Tips & Variations:
- Graham crackers- Store-bought graham crackers are often vegan, but I haven’t been able to find any that are oil-free. Make your own homemade graham crackers to keep these completely oil-free.
- Cracker crumb measurement- Approximately 10 cracker sheets equal 1.5 cups.
- Applesauce- Almost every grocery store carries applesauce here in the United States, or it can be ordered online. However, if you have trouble finding it for some reason, it’s pretty easy to make your own Homemade Applesauce.
- Pan size- A 9″ pie pan works great. A little larger or smaller will also work.
- Pressing the crust- You can use your hands to press the pie crust into the pie pan, or try the back of a spoon or measuring cup.
