2 cups peanut butter sandwich cookie crumbs (from about 19 cookies), plus more if needed

3 tablespoons salted butter, melted, plus more if needed

2 tablespoons granulated sugar, optional

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix the peanut butter cookie crumbs, melted butter and sugar, if using, in a bowl until the mixture feels like wet sand and holds together when squeezed. Adjust with more butter or crumbs if needed.
Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate, starting with the sides and then covering the bottom. Use a flat-bottomed cup to pack it down evenly.
Bake until the crust is lightly toasted, about 10 minutes. Let cool before filling, 10 to 15 minutes.
