Slightly tweaked here, the original of this recipe was found in the 2009 cookbook, Taste of Home Best Church Supper Recipes. Preparation time includes neither the 1 hour or so needed for the lemon filling to come to room temperature before it is poured into the pie shell, nor the refrigerating of the finished pie until the lemon filling is set.
