Lightly crush the graham crackers as you add them to a food processor.
Place the lid on the food processor and thoroughly pulse the graham crackers.
Add the brown sugar and cinnamon to the food processor and pulse again.
Add the cold unsweetened applesauce and pulse again until combined.
Pour the pulsed ingredients mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Then, press the crust together using your hands and the bottom of a measuring cup. Press the crust in the pie pan until it is no longer crumbly and holds its shape.
Bake the graham cracker crust at 350°F for 10-12 minutes. Once baked, let the crust completely cool before using it. The crust takes about 20 minutes to cool.

Graham Crackers: Use 12 full graham crackers, which is 24 individual graham cracker squares.
The Crust May Appear Crumbly: Don’t be nervous if the graham cracker crust appears crumbly at first. Once you apply pressure and press it together in the pan, it will stick together and form a crust.
Let the Crust Cool: Ensure you let the crust cool for at least 20 minutes after baking it.
Use Cold Applesauce: It is best to use cold unsweetened applesauce for this recipe so the crust comes together easily and has the correct texture.
