  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Stir wafers, butter, and sugar in a bowl until well combined. Press crust mixture evenly in the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch glass pie plate.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Leave the oven on.
