Ingredients
Crust:
-
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
-
½ cup white sugar
-
½ cup butter, melted
-
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Filling:
-
3 cups milk
-
½ cup white sugar
-
¼ cup cornstarch
-
3 egg yolks
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Meringue:
-
3 egg whites
-
2 tablespoons white sugar
Directions
-
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon in a bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup for topping the pie. Press the remaining crumb mixture in the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes.
-
Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium-high heat. In a non-plastic bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, and vanilla. When the milk is hot but not boiling, slowly pour the milk in a steady stream into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return the custard to the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or a heat-proof spatula. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes over low heat until the custard has thickened. Pour the custard into the graham cracker crust.
-
Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
-
Beat the egg whites until medium peaks form; add 2 tablespoons of sugar and beat until the meringue is stiff. Scoop out the meringue on top of the custard filling. Sprinkle the meringue with the reserved graham cracker crumbs.
-
Place the pie under the broiler and bake until the meringue starts to brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
