Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, 3 tbsp granulated sugar, and 6 tbsp melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed. Press firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish, using the flat bottom of a measuring cup to compact it. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.

Sprinkle the gelatin over the 3 tbsp cold water in a small bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes until the gelatin has absorbed the water and looks opaque and spongy.
