Notes

If you want to make a homemade graham cracker crust, it's easy: In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups fine graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill for 30 minutes. Proceed with the recipe as written.
