Lemon Meringue Pie With a Twist image

We can't wait to make this super simple lemon meringue pie on a hot summer day. Using lemon concentrate gives a wonderful lemon flavor to the pie without the work. It's sweet, tart, and creamy. On top is a meringue that is fluffy and perfectly sweet. The meringue balances the flavors on this lovely lemon pie.
