Notes
Storage: Cover leftover pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate. For the best texture, enjoy within 1 to 2 days. The bananas will start to brown and soften the longer it sits.Doubling: This recipe doubles easily. Use a 9x13 graham cracker crust and double all ingredients.Graham Cracker Crust: A store-bought graham cracker crust can be used, or you can make your own following this recipe.
1 ¼ cups (125 grams) of graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup (50 grams) of granulated sugar
6 tablespoons of melted butter (85 grams)
⅛ teaspoon of salt.
Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, salt, melted butter, and salt in a medium bowl. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and sides of a pie dish and bake at 350°F (177°C) for 7-8 minutes. Cool completely before preparing the filling. Alternatively, you can make this a completely no-bake recipe by refrigerating the crust for 2 hours rather than baking it. The crust will be more crumbly using the no-bake method versus baking.
