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.

I'm not a big fan of lemon pie, but this one was surprisingly good. The filling was tart and refreshing, and the crust was flaky and buttery.

The meringue topping was a bit too sweet for my liking, but the rest of the pie was delicious.
