2 large egg(s)
1/2 cup(s) fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp lemon zest

· Grind graham crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Or place crackers in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Place crumbs in a small bowl.
· Melt butter on stove top or in microwave and pour over graham cracker crumbs, mixing with a fork until completely moistened. Press crumbs evenly onto bottom of a 9-inch pie pan; place crust in refrigerator while preparing lemon filling.
· In a medium bowl, combine condensed milk and eggs; mix until smooth. Add lemon juice and zest; stir until incorporated and pour into prepared crust.
· Bake pie for 15 minutes. Cool completely and for best flavor, serve chilled. Yields 1 piece per serving.
Notes
· This pie can be baked and frozen for up to two weeks. Defrost and serve chilled.
