Very Lemon Pie
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. I add lemon zest and lemon juice to this pie, making it very lemony. Use ripe fruits to achieve a truly rich flavor in the finished pie. Serve it warm or cold. The pie will turn out thin—don't expect it to rise in the oven. Decorate the finished pie with powdered sugar.
