- Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl for about 30 seconds. Combine melted butter with graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, lemon zest, and salt. Mix until resembling wet sand and set aside.
- Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and distribute the crust mixture, pressing it down to form a compact crust. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes to set.
