Description
 Graham cracker crusts are staples of most pies, and typically made out of graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sometimes additional sugar. Instead, I'm replacing store-bought crackers with my own Gluten Free Graham Crackers, and subbing out the butter for unsweetened applesauce. The result is a very similar crust with a fraction of the fat, sugar, and calories
