Zesty Lemon Pie

For those who found the pie did not set, you have to be sure to used sweetened condensed milk and follow the recipe for filling exactly. For crust, I used 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar and 1/3 cup melted butter pressed into 10 inch pie plate and baked for 10 min. as directed. After it cooled, added filling and baked at 350 degrees for 17 minutes; the pie set perfectly and looked great. Made it the night before, but found that it tasted best 2 days later. This is a great make ahead dessert, as it tastes better after 2 to 3 days.

I made this for my husband's birthday. He really likes lemon meringue pie but I really don't like making it. It was perfect!! Easy to make and so very delicious!

First pie I've ever made, and it was a hit! I made this at Thanksgiving last year, and my brother-in-law was so excited to have a piece as this is one of his favorite types of pie. He gave it 5 stars, too, and he went back for thirds! The rest of the family enjoyed it as well, including my very picky mother. She said it was the perfect balance of tart and sweet, and I have to agree! The only change I made was I used half fresh-squeezed juice from fresh lemons and the rest was Real Lemon brand lemon juice. This pie is so quick and easy to make! I love it so much that it's going to be my go-to take-a-long dessert from now on. I'm making two right now, in fact, to bring to a friend's tomorrow. Well, actually, one will be staying here for my family to enjoy. I know it won't stay in the fridge long, though!

I am a perfectionist when I make recipes and am often disappointed. This is an excellent recipe, and it turned out beautifully and tasted delicious! The only thing was with my deep dish it took 1 1/2 crust recipes to fill mine plate. The filling filled my dish perfectly. This recipe is a 10!

Lemons are not my favorite fruit, but I will admit this was a wonderful tasty pie. I also used Meyer Lemons. My MIL makes a lemon pie that is a favorite of my husbands and he had to admit this was just as tasty. I have watched her make that pie and this was so much easier to make. Great Pie!
