Healthier Graham Cracker Pie Crust

Graham cracker crusts are staples of most pies, and typically made out of graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sometimes additional sugar. Instead, I'm replacing store-bought crackers with my own homemade version, and subbing out the butter for unsweetened applesauce. The result is a very similar crust with a fraction of the fat, sugar, and calories
