Step-by-Step Instructions
Making this pie is an absolute joy! First, I start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, I combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until it’s all well-blended, making a wonderful crumbly mixture. I then firmly press this mixture into the base and up the sides of my pie dish to form the crust. I can already smell that buttery aroma wafting through my kitchen!
