Preparation
Make crust:
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Butter a 9-inch pie plate.
Step 2
Pulse together graham crackers, almonds, and sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a bowl and stir in butter. Press crumb mixture evenly onto bottom and up side of pie plate. Bake until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool completely. (Leave oven on.)
Make filling and bake pie:
Step 3
Gently whisk together filling ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth and pour into crust. Bake until just set in center, 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 4
Cool completely (filling will set as it cools). Chill pie, loosely covered, at least 8 hours.
