Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F.
Combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar; press three-quarters into a deep-dish pie pan, reserving the rest.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove to cool and reduce oven temperature to 325F.
In a saucepan, whisk granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, milk, and egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture is very thick, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Remove from heat, whisk in butter, then stir in vanilla. Pour the hot filling into the cooled crust.
Beat egg whites until foamy; add cream of tartar, then gradually add sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Stir in vanilla.
Spread meringue over the pie, sprinkle with reserved graham cracker mixture, and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until browned.
Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving.
