For the filling:
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into a pie dish and bake until set. Let cool.
- Make the filling: Whisk sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Gradually add milk and cook until thickened. Temper egg yolks, then combine with the milk mixture. Cook until thickened. Add butter and vanilla.
