Directions:
To make the pie shell:
Cream butter, sugar and cinnamon. Add graham cracker crumbs and mix well. Press 2/3 of the mixture into bottom and up the sides of a slightly greased 8 inch or 9 inch pie plate, reserving the remaining 1/3 of the crumbs for the top of the pie.
To make the filling:
Separate the eggs, reserving the whites. Combine the yolks, milk, sugar, cornstarch and butter and cook in double boiler until slightly thickened and the consistency of pudding. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract. Pour the custard into the prepared crust. Beat egg whites until stiff, adding the 3 tablespoons of sugar gradually. Spread meringue on top of custard and sprinkle with the reserved graham cracker crumbs. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Allow pie to cool before cutting. Serves 8.
