📝 Preparation Steps
1
Make the crust: Preheat oven to 375°F. Place crackers in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin or wooden spoon until fine crumbs form; transfer to a bowl. Add sugar and butter and stir until evenly coated. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a standard 9-inch glass pie plate. Chill until firm, at least ⏱️ 30 minutes and up to 2 days. Bake until golden brown, 15 to ⏱️ 20 minutes; cool completely.

Make the filling: Whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Add egg yolks, grapefruit juice, lemon juice, and food coloring and whisk to combine. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until shimmering and thickened, 17 to ⏱️ 20 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl. Stir in butter until melted. Transfer to pie crust and chill until firm, at least ⏱️ 3 hours and up to 1 day.
