- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned and set.
