Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Using a food processor, pulse the graham crackers and almonds together into crumbs. A few larger pieces of nuts is OK. Pour into a medium bowl and stir in the sugar. Add the melted butter and stir until combined. The mixture will be thick, coarse, and sandy. Try to smash/break up any large chunks. Pour the mixture into an ungreased 9-inch pie dish. With medium pressure using your hand, pat the crumbs down into the bottom and up the sides to make a compact crust. Do not pack down with heavy force because that makes the crust too hard. Simply pat down until the mixture is no longer crumby/crumbly. Tips: You can use a small flat-bottomed measuring cup to help press down the bottom crust and smooth out the surface, but do not pack down too hard. And run a spoon around the bottom "corner" where the edge and bottom meet to help make a rounded crust-this helps prevent the crust from falling apart. For more shaping technique tips, see the graham cracker crust recipe page.
- Pre-bake crust for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave the oven on.
- Whisk the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and egg yolks together. Pour into warm crust.
- Bake the pie for 19-21 minutes or until only *slightly* jiggly in the center. You want it mostly set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, cover and chill for at least 1 hour (and up to 3 days) before serving.
- Garnish as desired. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Steps:
- 1. Bake and cool pastry shell. Set aside.

- 3. Refrigerate at least 12 hour. Serve with sweetened whipped cream, garnished with sugared lemon slices and/or chopped walnuts. Serves 6 to 8
Tips:
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as bright and citrusy.
- Make sure the butter is very cold before you grate it. This will help it incorporate into the flour better and create a more flaky crust.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
- Bake the crust until it is golden brown. This will help ensure that the crust is cooked through.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling set and prevent it from running.
