Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s dive into how to make this delightful pie! First, in a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until everything is moistened, and it resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of your pie dish to form a crust. You want it tightly packed so it holds together when you slice the pie. Pop this crust into the fridge while you prepare the filling. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
