3/4 cup granola -- with no raisins or other dried fruit
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs -- from about 6 whole graham crackers
1/4 cup unsalted butter -- melted
3 tablespoons sugar
Baked Layer
1 can sweetened condensed milk -- (14 ounce)

Mix in graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press crumb mixture over bottom and up sides of 9-inch-diameter deep dish glass pie dish. Bake until crust is golden brown, about 8 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 deg. Remove crust from oven and cool completely.
