Preheat oven to 350°F.
Put the crumbs, sugar and salt in the Cuisinart® mixing bowl. Attach the flat mixing paddle. Mix on Speed 2 to combine, about 30 seconds. While mixing, slowly add melted butter and mix until crumbs are totally coated, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a pie plate and press evenly into bottom and up the sides of the plate. Use the bottom of a glass or custard cup to firmly tamp down the bottom of the crust. Bake until firm to the touch 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
