Add graham crackers crumbs and brown sugar to a large bowl and mix together.
Pour the melted butter into the graham cracker and sugar mixture. Stir until all of the crumbs are damp from the butter and hold together when pressed between your fingers.
Transfer the graham cracker mixture to a 9-inch pie dish or a springform pan. Using your fingers or the bottom of a glass or measuring cup, press the mixture firmly and evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
Transfer the pie pan to the fridge and chill for 30 minutes. Put the pie in the freezer for 15 minutes to shorten the chill time. This will help the crust set.

Add graham crackers and brown sugar to a food processor and pulse until the crackers are finely ground into crumbs.
Slowly pour the melted butter into the food processor while pulsing the graham cracker mixture. Continue pulsing until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed between your fingers.
Transfer the graham cracker mixture to a 9-inch pie dish or a springform pan. Using your fingers or the bottom of a glass or measuring cup, press the mixture firmly and evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
