Instructions

Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Make the Lemon Filling
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, egg yolks, and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Pour the filling into the cooled crust.

Bake the Pie
Bake the pie 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 cool to room temperature.
