Tips:

For the perfect graham cracker crust, use a combination of graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a pie plate and chill before filling.
To make the butterscotch filling, use a heavy saucepan and stir the mixture constantly over medium heat until it thickens. Do not boil the mixture, as this will cause it to curdle.
For a richer filling, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
Add a pinch of salt to the filling to balance out the sweetness.
For a creamier filling, beat the egg yolks and sugar together until they are thick and pale yellow before adding them to the hot milk mixture.
To prevent the pie from cracking, let it cool completely before serving.

Conclusion:

This classic graham cracker butterscotch pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, rich filling and buttery graham cracker crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
