Graham Cracker Crumble
Ingredients
- 1 sleeve graham crackers (9 sheets of 4 crackers), roughly crushed*
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted
- 3 tablespoons sugar (granulated or light/dark brown, your choice)**
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)***
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- pinch kosher or fine sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine crushed graham crackers, sugar, salt, and cinnamon (if using) in a medium bowl. Add melted
- butter and vanilla (if using), and stir to fully coat the crumb mixture.
- Spread crumbs onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Bake for 8-12 minutes, until light
- golden brown and fragrant. Watch the crumbles carefully so they don't burn (mine most often takes
- around 10 minutes, but times will vary by oven and brand of graham crackers used). The graham
- cracker mixture will be soft when you take it out of the oven and will crisp as it cools.
- Cool the mixture to room temperature and break it up into crumbles. Store in an airtight container for
- up to 3 days at room temperature, 1 week in the refrigerator, or 3 months in the freezer. Return to room
- temperature before using the crumble to top your favorite sweet treats (such as parfaits, ice cream, or
- yogurt).

*To crush grahams, place the crackers in a zip top bag and crush with a rolling pin or the bottom of a measuring
cup. Or, pulse the graham crackers in a food processor. I like to roughly crush the grahams, creating a mixture
of fine crumbs and medium-sized chunks, for a well-textured crumble.
**When using graham cracker brands made with molasses, I use granulated sugar to make the crumbles.
When using honey grahams, or when I want to add a little depth of flavor, I'll use brown sugar. This recipe is
very adaptable and customizable.
***The cinnamon and vanilla are optional, depending on the type/brand of graham crackers you're using. If
you've bought honey grahams, you might want to add a touch of cinnamon. If using cinnamon grahams, omit. I
find that some graham cracker brands can use a little extra "oomph" from a splash of vanilla.
