Step 1 - Crush the Graham Crackers.

The easiest way, of course, is to buy them already crushed.  Some years ago, Nabisco started selling them crushed, just for this purpose.  If all you have is the crackers, put them in a plastic bag and roll over it with a rolling pin, or the bottom of a large heavy jar (like a full quart jar of spaghetti sauce). crush away until they are just crumbs!.

Note that is much faster and easier to just put the graham crackers in a food processor, chopper or blender and turn them into crumbs in a few seconds.

Step 2 - Mix the cracker crumbs and stevia

Mix the crumbs and 1/8 cup stevia. Stir it up! 

Step 3 - Melt the butter

1 Tablespoon of butter or margarine usually melts without splattering in about 12 seconds in my microwave set on medium. Yours may vary! Or you can use a stove on very low heat.  Either way, be sure to cover the container while you melt it.

Step 4 - Mix the melted butter, oil, and egg whites with the crumbs and sugar mixture

Stir them together to get the butter evenly spread among the crumbs. Try to work without delay, as the crumbs will stick together better when the butter is warfm.

Step 5 - Press the mixture into the pie plate

Try to make it about 1/8 inch (1/3 cm) evenly all around. The bottom of a soup spoon is ideal for this.  The crumbs should stick pretty well, without being wet.  If they won't stick where you press them, just add another tablespoon of water to the mix.

Step 6 - Finishing up

Even the crumbs up and make sure there are no gaps or holes.  That's all there is to it.  Now, you're ready to add the pie filling!

TIP: For those wanting to make a "no bake" pie, such as lemon meringue, you need to bake the crust first. A 375 degree (F) oven for 4-5 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned. Cool before filling.  If you chill the crust for an hour before you use it or bake it, it will prevent crumbling when you want to serve it. (as does the baking).
