Make the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the 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 dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Bake the Pie
Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. The filling should be set but still have a slight jiggle in the center.

Cool and Serve
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Top with whipped cream before serving.
