SCINTILLATING LEMON PIE

Scintillating Lemon Pie image

From the Elsah's Landing restaurant, Elsah, IL. A very tangy and lemony two-crust lemon pie. I'm not a meringue fan, so this is great for me! Slice the lemons as thin as possible, and I bake an extra five minutes to make sure they get cooked down.
