Steps:
- 1. Put apples in food processor and blend for about 5 seconds or until apples re coarsely chopped. Add remaining ingredients and blend until apples are finely chopped but not pureed. Place apple mixture in a buttered 9 inch pie plate and bake at 350 for 35 minute or until pie is almost set. Spread top with Lemon Meringue Topping (recipe follows) and return to oven. Continue baking for about 20 minutes or until top is golden brown. Allow to cool and cut into wedges to serve. Serves 8 Note: The only thing to watch is that the apples don't get pureed in blending. If you blend too long, apples with turn into a soupy sauce and pie will not bake properly Lemon Meringue Topping: 2 egg white 1/4 cup sugar 1 T. grated lemon peel Beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add sugar and beat until meringue is stiff. This is not a light meringue, but a denser version. Beat in the lemon peel. Note: This is a delicious little dessert that is somewhat lower in calories than it's crusty cousin. It is a light dessert and nice to serve after a hardy meal. Source: Renny Darling
LEMON APPLE PIE
This is my family's favourite apple pie. I lost the recipe and it's taken me five years before I found it again. This time I'm determined to share it! It's English (UK), so I hope the instructions are clear.

Steps:
- Make pastry.
- Line a 7 inch flan ring.
- Peel and grate the apple, add the sugar and then the grated rind and juice of the lemon.
- Beat the egg.
- Add to the apple mixture and mix- this will curdle- not to worry.
- Pour into tart case and bake for about 35 minutes at 350F/ 170°C.
Tips:
- Use Granny Smith apples: Their tart flavor pairs well with the sweetness of the lemons.
- Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the apples: You want them to be soft but still hold their shape.
- Use fresh lemon juice and zest: This will give the pie a bright, citrusy flavor.
- Don't skimp on the butter: It's what makes the crust flaky and delicious.
- Chill the pie dough before rolling it out: This will help prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This usually takes about 1 hour.
Conclusion:
This lemon apple pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's sweet, tart, and creamy, with a flaky crust and a gooey filling. Follow these tips to make sure your pie turns out perfect every time.
