Cinnamon Poppems

Place crushed graham crackers into the pan. Cut the butter into slices and arrange on top. Bake for eight to 10 minutes, or until butter is melted. Remove the pan from the oven.

Place your pan into the oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until set.

Remove the pan from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Cool the cake completely before adding the topping.
