Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started on this fantastic pie! First, I preheat my kitchen with the sweet aroma of anticipation. In a mixing bowl, I combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. I like to make it well-mixed until it resembles wet sand. Then, I firmly press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form a crust. It’s a satisfying step that gives me a sense of accomplishment! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
