Lemon Custard Pie

There is something to be said for a big, sunny slice of lemon custard pie—and that is, "Oh, boy." Neither too sweet nor too sharp, particularly when served with plenty of freshly whipped cream, it provides a festive-yet-undecorated counterpoint to fancier desserts. The graham cracker crust, like the pie itself, is the embodiment of simplicity. It's also terrifically pantry-friendly.

Cooks' notes:

•Crust can be baked 3 days ahead and kept, wrapped in plastic wrap, at cool room temperature.
•Pie can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, loosely covered.
