Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until slightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.

Assemble the pie
Pour the filling mixture into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for an additional 10-12 minutes. The filling should be set but still slightly jiggly.

Cool and serve
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about an hour. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Top with whipped cream before serving, if desired.
