I'm figuring it's over baking...Graham Cracker crusts contain nothing that
require cooking before eating...Usually baked to get the butter to be
absorbed better, to stiffen up the crust a bit and to get the crust a
prettier colour brown. If baked too long or too hot the sugar melts and
causes it to stick to the pan...that is my guess. And it is a guess.
