I would try smashing up gluten-free cookies (shortbread) and using the crumbs.

I made ginger cookies that ended up being way too crumbly, so I just crumbled them all up and they are in the freezer awaiting that very thing you mentioned.

IT was a mix from Grandma Ferndons. I think it was actually ginger snaps

Health Valley makes a rice bran graham style cracker and it tastes very similar to a graham cracker, only they are much harder. But smashed up as crumbs they would work fine. You just need to smash them very fine, or grind them in a food processor or grinder. I buy them at Whole Foods.

You can also get them online at the Gluten Free Pantry and other stores:

It is possible to make your own cramb crackers. My grandma makes gluten free graham crackers for herself and one of her granddaughters. I tasted them and they were pretty good. She had used them in a cheese cake crust.

I've used teff flour (available from Bob's Red Mill and also from the Teff Company) for apple pies and also pumpkin pie. The consistency of the pie crust is a little bit like a graham craker crumb base.

It might work to bake an unfilled pie crust (made from teff flour) and then crumble it.

Has anyone ever tried doing this?

I've used the envirokids vanilla gluten free animal cookies for things like cheese cake crust... they are very tasty, I'd try them.

I've ordered "graham" cracker crumbs off the Knickiknick web site, they were pretty good.
