  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. Generously grease a springform pan with butter.
  3. For graham cracker crust, crush graham crackers in food processor until consistency of bread crumbs; stir with melted butter until mixture holds shape when squeezed. If needed, add a little more melted butter.
  4. Firmly press graham cracker “crust” into bottom and along bottom sides of spring form pan; set aside.
