Method
Instructions
- 1
Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture 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.

Combine and bake
Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.

Chill and serve
