Steps:
- For the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add the crackers and sugar to a food processor and pulse a few times. Add the melted butter and lemon zest, then pulse until the crumbs look like wet sand, about 30 seconds. Press crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 8-inch pie pan, then chill for at least 15 minutes. Bake the crust until the edges start to brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- For the filling: Add the condensed milk and egg yolks to a medium bowl and whisk until the yolks are incorporated. Add the lemon juice and whisk until fully combined, another 1 to 2 minutes. Pour into your prepared pie shell and bake until the filling has nearly set in the center, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- Top with whipped cream and freshly grated lemon zest and serve.
SANDHILL PLUM PIE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Mix plums, brown sugar, confectioners' sugar, flour, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl. Pour into the deep-dish pie crust.
- Cut the regular pie crust into strips and lay over the fruit mixture. Brush milk on the crust and sprinkle sugar all over it.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Wrap aluminum foil over the edges of the pie to prevent burning; return to the oven and bake 7 to 10 minutes more.

SAND PUDDING RECIPE
This is a recipe I shared last summer, but it was a big hit so I am sharing it here today and making up a batch for my family! The ingredients were simple as were the instructions to create this dessert that will have people wondering if it is REALLY sand or not. I brought it to our family reunion last Saturday after the Walk and it was quickly gobbled up! My daughter asked if I would make it again the next day. I'm pretty sure she single handedly ate half the pail herself. ;) Seriously though, this was very quick & easy dessert to put together with a LOT of wow factor included. This is a super quick & easy summer time dessert that is sure to be the talk of the party!

Tips:
- For a classic sand pie crust, use a combination of graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into a pie plate and chill it before filling. - For a more decadent crust, use a mixture of crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. This will give the pie a rich, chocolatey flavor. - If you don't have any graham crackers or Oreo cookies on hand, you can make a simple crust using flour, sugar, and butter. Just combine the ingredients in a bowl and press the mixture into a pie plate. - For the filling, you can use any type of pudding mix you like. Just follow the package directions for preparing the pudding. - Once the pudding is set, top it with whipped cream, fruit, or chocolate chips. - For a no-bake sand pie, use a combination of cream cheese, Cool Whip, and sugar. Just beat the ingredients together until smooth and then spread the mixture into a pie crust. - Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving.Conclusion:
Sand pie is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a hit. With its creamy filling and crunchy crust, it's a perfect treat for any occasion. Whether you're making a classic sand pie or trying one of the variations, you're sure to enjoy this delicious dessert.
