    Help! My graham cracker pie crust doesn't want to come out with the rest of the pie

    Reply Contact

    Everytime I make a pie using a graham cracker pie crust or a cornflake piecrust, I lose half or more of the crust.  It want to stay on the pieplate.  Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    Thanks.

    Does it stick to the pieplate?  Try greasing the pieplate before putting the crumbs in and pressing them down.  Using enough butter in the mixture?  Some recipes call for 1/4 c. melted butter but I often increase it to 1/3 cup for 2 cups of crumbs and 1/4 cup sugar.  Glass pan?  Microwave the crust for 2 1/2 minutes on High, turning it 1/2 turn every minute.  You might have to dip the pan in hot water briefly before cutting the pie to loosen it.

    A very light misting of PAM or other spray, just very lightly in the pan will help, do not over do it. Judy

     Yes, a light coating of PAM does the trick every time!
