Method
Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush the Ritz crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Melt the butter and mix it with the cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.

Bake the Pie
Pour the lemon filling into the cooled crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set but slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Prepare the Whipped Cream
