== Crust ==
=== Ingredients ===
* 2 packages of graham crackers (18 "cracker sheets")

== Directions ==
# Crush the graham crackers (I put 4 or 5 "cracker sheets" at a time into a sturdy plastic freezer bag and crush them with a rolling pin). 
# Put cracker crumbs into a medium-sized bowl and pour melted butter/margarine over the crumbs. 
# Mix thoroughly. 
# Press into a 9x13 ungreased pan.

* 1 egg 
* 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened, condensed milk

== Directions ==
# Use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until smooth (a minute or two). 
# Add the lemon juice and egg and beat on high speed for another minute. 
# Pour the batter over the graham cracker crust. 
# Drop the canned pie filling into the batter by spoonfuls at evenly-placed intervals.
