INSTRUCTIONS:

1 – Prepare the Crust:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
• Crush the saltine crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and gently rolling over them with a rolling pin.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

2 – Press into Pie Dish:

• Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish, creating a crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup to press down firmly.

• In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the remaining 3/4 cup of granulated sugar until pale and fluffy.
• Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
• Pour the egg mixture over the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly.

4 – Bake to Perfection:

• Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
• Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

5 – Serve and Enjoy:

• Once cooled, slice the Cracker Pie into wedges and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
• Garnish with fresh berries or a drizzle of fruit compote for an extra touch of sweetness and color.

• Gather your loved ones around the table and share the joy of homemade goodness with a slice of Cracker Pie.
• Embrace the simplicity of this timeless dessert and savor each bite, knowing that it’s made with love and shared with those who matter most.
