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

Combine and bake
Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust. Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
