Method
Directions to Make Key Lime Pie
- 1
Prepare the Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of 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 for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Combine and Bake
Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Bake 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.

Chill and Serve
