    Can you bake a pie in a store bought graham cracker crust?

    Absolutely! I find that a store-bought graham cracker crust stands up well to various kinds of fillings and adds a delicious flavor!

    You may be wondering, "What kind of pie can i make with a graham cracker crust?" Well, a lot, it turns out! This recipe is a variation on my Sweet Potato Pie with Graham Cracker Crust, and it's also inspired by my Apple Pie With Graham Cracker Crust! And for more of the best fall goodies, check out my list of the 36 Best Fall Desserts for your Seasonal Celebrations!

    Pumpkin Pie with Keebler Graham Cracker Crust

    I like to use a Keebler brand crust for this easy recipe -- their crusts are reliably sturdy, with lots of flavor, so that's a great option! But if you have another brand you prefer, any store-bought pie crust will also work well for this easy pumpkin pie in graham cracker crust!

    Ingredients for making pumpkin pie in a graham cracker crust, including canned pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pre-made crust.

    Ingredients

    You won't believe how simple it is to make the best pumpkin pie with a graham cracker crust! Scroll down to the recipe card to see the full ingredients and measurements, but here's a quick look at what you'll need:

    • canned pumpkin - pumpkin purée is the base for this incredible pumpkin pie! Look for anything that says "100% pumpkin", or "pumpkin purée", NOT pumpkin pie filling.
    • sweetened condensed milk - canned condensed milk works double duty in this pumpkin pie recipe! It adds a rich creaminess to our filling and also adds sweetness! If you have dietary restrictions, check out these substitute for sweetened condensed milk ideas!
    • melted butter - I forgot to include the butter in the photo above, but I like to add melted unsalted butter to this pumpkin filling. It adds a little richness.
    • eggs - you'll want your large eggs to be at room temperature. If they feel cold to the touch, submerge them in a bowl of lukewarm water for 15 minutes.
    • vanilla - for the best flavor, I like to use pure vanilla extract. Or you can make your own!
    • pumpkin pie spice - these warm spices are perfect with the other flavors in this creamy pumpkin pie filling and any pumpkin desserts! And if you love warming spices, check out my Chai Spice Bundt Cake, my Cake Mix Apple Cobbler, and my Cinnamon Roll Apple Pies!
    • salt - brings out all these amazing flavors!
    • graham cracker crust - a store-bought graham cracker pie crust is the key here! It makes this recipe so easy! Keebler makes a 10-inch graham cracker crust that is perfect for the amount of filling that this recipe produces, but if you can't find that, then a 9-inch pie crust will work too -- just don't overfill your pie crust! Discard any unused filling or make separate mini pumpkin pies with Keebler graham cracker crust minis! And if you prefer to make your own crust with graham crackers or pre-made graham cracker crumbs, check out my Lemon Bars with Graham Cracker Crust for my homemade graham cracker crust recipe!

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Equipment

    To make this pumpkin pie in graham cracker crust, you'll need a large bowl and a whisk to mix up your filling. You'll also want a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl, and you may also want to have a wire rack to help the pie cool more quickly.

    Instructions

    The recipe card below will give you detailed step-by-step instructions for making this pie, as well as full ingredient measurements and a recipe video! But here's a quick look at how you'll make this pumpkin pie recipe!

    Let your pie cool completely at room temperature before serving.

    Hint: Serve this pie with a big dollop of homemade whipped cream! Check out my Lemon Icebox Pie to see how I make my whipped cream!

    No Bake Graham Cracker Crust Pumpkin Pie

    I have a recipe for a no bake pumpkin pie that you can make with a graham cracker crust! My Pumpkin Mousse Pie with Maple Cookie Crust is a creamy, no-bake pumpkin pie that you'll love! That recipe calls for a homemade maple cookie crust, but you can always replace it with a store-bought graham cracker crust to make it even easier!

    Pumpkin Pecan Pie with Graham Cracker Crust

    How to make this pumpkin pie even better? I like to sprinkle chopped praline pecans on top of this pie after baking for an added crunch! Pumpkin pecan pie with graham cracker crust is the perfect flavor combination for fall!

    And for another yummy flavor combination, try my caramel pecan turtle pie or my no-bake Cheesecake Mousse Cups!

    Storage

    Because we're making this pumpkin pie with a Keebler graham cracker crust, the crust has a built-in storage option! Just save the plastic cover and flip it over to store your leftover pumpkin pie in the fridge for up to 4 days. Make sure your whole pie is fully cooled before storing it, so that condensation doesn't make the crust soggy.

    You can also freeze this delicious pie! Wrap the covered pie pan well with plastic wrap, than with aluminum foil. It should last up to two months in the fridge.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Should you bake a graham cracker crust before filling?

    Not with this easy pumpkin pie recipe! The pie itself needs a good amount of time in the oven, so your graham cracker crust will get nice and golden brown too!

    Should a pumpkin pie crust be prebaked?

    If you're using a regular pie crust like my Flaky Butter Pie Crust, you'll want to pre-bake, or "blind bake", the crust to ensure that you don't end up with a soggy bottom crust. Luckily, we're using a an easy graham cracker crust, so a soggy bottom is not likely!

    No-bake pumpkin pie with graham cracker crust, partially eaten, showing a rich and smooth texture.

    Why is the bottom crust of my pumpkin pie soggy?

    If you do end up with a soggy crust, it's probably due to condensation that settled into the bottom of the pie after baking. Be sure to let your pie cool, uncovered, at room temperature for at least two hours or until it's completely cool, before serving or storing. That will allow any condensation to evaporate, so that it doesn't settle into the bottom of your pie pan.

    Top Tip

    Make sure you let your pie cool completely before enjoying! This helps to set the filling and give it that smooth, creamy texture!

    Notes

    Homemade Graham Cracker Crust Option: To make this recipe with homemade pie crust, just follow the ingredients and steps for the graham cracker crust of my Lemon Icebox Pie, then press into the bottom and up the sides of your pie pan. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and pre-bake your pie crust for 10 minutes, then remove to cool and fill with pie filling as usual.
    Storage and Freezing: Because we're making this pumpkin pie with a Keebler graham cracker crust, the crust has a built-in storage option! Just save the plastic cover and flip it over to store your pie in the fridge for up to 4 days. Make sure your pie is fully cooled before storing it, so that condensation doesn't make the crust soggy.
    You can also freeze this pie! Wrap the covered pie pan well with plastic wrap, than with aluminum foil. It should last up to two months in the fridge.
    Note on Pie Crust Size: Keebler makes a 10-inch graham cracker crust that is perfect for the amount of filling that this recipe produces, but if you can't find that, then a 9-inch pie crust will work too -- just don't overfill your pie crust! Discard any unused filling or make separate mini pumpkin pies with Keebler graham cracker crust minis!

      This recipe was easy and quick to make and so delicious! I used homemade pumpkin pie spice and added a hint more than a tablespoon. 🤭😉 I used a store bought 9" graham cracker pie crust and as the recipe indicated, I had leftover filling. I simply made these into crustless pumpkin pie bites. 🤤
