Lemon Meringue Pie image

I think of my grandmother every time I make this pie...it's a recipe she made often. Because of my husband's engineering job, we've lived in several states, and I've shared this recipe with lots of friends I've made over the years.

I've tried several lemon meringue pie recipes over the years, but this one is definitely my favorite. The crust is flaky and the filling is perfectly tart and sweet. I highly recommend this recipe!
