Time 55m

Yield 1 9 in pie, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 (9 inch) pie crusts (see note)
2 large lemons, with very thin skins
4 eggs, well beaten
2 cups sugar

Steps:

  • NOTE: I use prepared pie shells from the frozen foods section of market. For a top crust I use Pillsbury prepared crusts. They are now rolled instead of folded -- no creases!
  • Slice lemons as thin as paper, rind and all. Combine with sugar, mix well.
  • Let stand 2 hours or preferably refrigerate overnight, stirring occasionally.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Add beaten eggs to lemon mix, mix well.
  • Turn into 9-inch pie shell, arranging slices evenly.
  • Cover with top crust.
  • Cut several slits near center.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 375ยบ F and bake 20 minutes more or until silver knife comes out clean.
