Graham Cracker Crust
Here are some important tips to help you create the perfect graham cracker pie crust:
- Make sure you crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin. The finer the crumbs, the easier it will be to press into the pie dish.
- Use melted butter to mix in with the graham cracker crumbs to hold the crust together. This will give your crust a buttery flavor and help it set firmly once baked.
- Use a tart tamper to help you press the crumbs firmly and evenly across the bottom and sides of the pie plate.

You could try to add more cream cheese to the mixture or replace a portion of the cream cheese with an equal amount of Greek yogurt or sour cream to give it a tangy flavor and a firmer texture. Another tip is to allow it to chill longer which will help firm up the texture.
Try adding a teaspoon of almond extract to the cherry pie filling to give it a better taste!
