Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
-
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
-
Firmly press the crust mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
-
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then remove and let it cool completely.
-
In a small saucepan, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup of 7-Up and let it stand for 5 minutes to soften.
-
Heat the gelatin mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 1 cup of 7-Up.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk the lemon pudding mix with the beaten eggs until smooth.
-
Slowly pour the warm gelatin/7-Up mixture into the lemon pudding mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
-
Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust.
-
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is completely set.
-
Slice and serve chilled.
