Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust:

1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
⅓ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
⅓ cup butter melted

Orange Pie Filing:

1 box orange jello 3 ounces
⅔ cup boiling water
½ cup ice cubes

Instructions

MAKE GRAHAM CRACKER PIE CRUST

**If you are using a premade graham pie crust, just skip this step!**
In a large bowl, mix in graham cracker crumbs, sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter until the crust forms.
Spray a 9-inch spring-form pan with non-stick baking spray. Add graham cracker crumbs to the bottom of the pan. Using the bottom of a spoon or measuring cup, press the graham cracker crumbs evenly to the bottom and sides of the pan. Press graham cracker crust into a 9-inch spring-form pan. Place the pie crust in the refrigerator.

MAKE PIE FILLING

In a small saucepan, boil only 2/3 cup of water. DO NOT FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE BACK OF THE GELATIN MIX!
In a large bowl, add boiling water and gelatin powder. Add the ice cubes to cool down the jello mixtures and whisk gelatin powder until completely dissolved and foamy.
TIP: Let the gelatin mixture sit for 10-15 minutes in the refrigerator to thicken slightly before you add the cool whip otherwise it won’t set up.
Add cool whip topping to the gelatin mixture and whisk together until light and fluffy. Stir in orange slices.
Add orange pie filling to the pie crust. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight for best results.

Notes

Store. Assembled pie in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours before serving. Store leftover pie loosely covered with plastic wrap for 3-4 days.
Freeze. You can freeze this pie for up to 1 month and serve it frozen or thaw it and serve it. Once thawed the consistency of the pie may vary. Once frozen, it's better to serve frozen.
