This simple filling blends graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon into a sandy, cohesive mixture that presses easily between layers of batter or dough. It adds texture and a toasty sweetness to coffee cakes, bar cookies, and layered desserts, and comes together in minutes with no cooking required.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.

  2. Pour the melted butter over the dry mixture and stir with a fork until all the crumbs are evenly moistened and the mixture resembles wet sand.

  3. Use the filling immediately as a pressed layer between cake batters or bar cookie dough, or squeeze a small handful together to check that it holds its shape before using.
