Crust Preparation

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. This will be your no-bake crust.

Strawberry Addition

Gently fold in the sliced strawberries.

Assembly

Pour the strawberry-lemon filling into the prepared graham cracker crust. Spread evenly.

Chill

Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
