How to measure graham cracker crumbs
The King Arthur Baking entry reads Graham cracker crumbs (store-bought or crushed from whole), 1 cup (6 to 7 crackers) = 3 1/2 ounces = 100 grams. The round figure makes crusts easy: 1 1/2 cups is 150 grams, 2 cups 200 grams, and a crust recipe written as 150 grams of crumbs needs 9 to 11 crackers. The chart lists generic cookie crumbs lower at 85 grams per cup and dry breadcrumbs higher at 112 grams, so this page is only for graham crumbs. Half a cup is 50 grams, a tablespoon about 6 grams. The chart gives one figure for store-bought and home-crushed crumbs.
Sources: 100 grams per US cup is the weight per cup in King Arthur Baking’s ingredient weight chart (open the chart), entry “Graham cracker crumbs (store-bought or crushed from whole), 1 cup (6 to 7 crackers) = 3 1/2 oz = 100 g”. A US cup is about 237 milliliters.
