"This pie reminds me of a delicious graham cracker pie my Aunt Irene used to make. I made this pie with a meringue topping, but it is just as delicious with a fresh lightly sweetened whipped cream topping, sprinkled with graham cracker crumbs. Store this pie in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, loosely tented with foil...."
