Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 12-cup mini cheesecake pan with nonstick spray.
Crush the graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse until well combined.
Divide the graham cracker mixture evenly among the pan cavities, pressing firmly into the bottom of each.
Bake the crusts for 5 minutes until fragrant, then remove from the oven and lower the temperature to 325°F.
