Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave.

Combine melted butter with graham cracker crumbs, light brown sugar, and kosher salt in a mixing bowl.

Mix until the mixture resembles a wet sandy texture.

Pour the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish.

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish using your hands.

Use your thumb to create a nice edge while pressing the mixture into the sides.

Flatten the mixture at the bottom and press it out towards the sides to create a firm base.

Bake the crust for about 10 minutes until it is golden brown and looks set.

Remove from the oven and let cool before adding any filling.
