First, let's start with the crust. Mix crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar. Press it into a pie dish and bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool while we prepare the filling.

For the filling, we'll need fresh lemon juice, zest, sugar, cornstarch, and eggs. Whisk them together in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened. Pour it into the crust and let it cool.
4.
Now, for the star of the show - the meringue! Beat egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Spread it over the filling and make swirls with a spatula.

Bake the pie for 10 minutes until the meringue turns golden brown. Let it cool for an hour before serving. Trust us, the wait will be worth it!
