Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s start by making the crust. In a mixing bowl, I combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. I like to use my hands to mix everything together until it resembles wet sand. Then, press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of my 9-inch pie dish. Make sure it’s packed tightly! Once that’s done, I pop it in the refrigerator to set while I prepare the filling.
