**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
3. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish, creating an even crust. Use the back of a measuring cup to press the crumbs firmly.

5. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly.
6. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
7. Once done, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Then, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and set.
