Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat the oven to 350 F. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar; mix to blend.
• Use 3/4 of the graham cracker mixture to cover a deep-dish pie pan. Press the mixture well with your fingers to cover the bottom and sides of the dish. Set aside the remaining mixture for later use.
• Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove the pie crust from the oven and set it aside to cool.
• Reduce oven temperature to 325 F.
• In a heavy, medium saucepan , combine the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk in the milk and egg yolks, then place the pan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and gently boil, or about 5 to 6 minutes.
• Continue cooking, whisking, until very thick, about 1 to 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat and whisk in the butter, a few pieces at a time. Stir in the vanilla and mix well.
• Pour the hot filling into the cooled graham cracker pie crust. Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites at high speed until foamy.
• Add the cream of tartar and gradually add the sugar. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
• Stir in the vanilla extract and gently fold.
• Spread the meringue mixture to top the prepared pie.
• Sprinkle with the reserved graham cracker mixture and place the pie in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the meringue is browned.
• Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving.
• Enjoy.

GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt. Stir in the melted butter. (Mixture will look like wet sand.) Press into the bottom and up the sides of a standard (not deep-dish) 9-inch pie pan. Fill and bake according to your recipe. (If your recipe calls for a prebaked crust, bake for 6 to 9 minutes at 375 degrees until just lightly browned. Let cool completely on wire rack before filling.)
