Shaker Lemon Pie image

This is the Runner-Up recipe for 1986 in the San Francisco Chronicle, by Marion Cunningham. Only three ingredients go into this old-fashioned Shaker dessert: lemon slices - peel and all - sugar and eggs. The filling is more like marmalade than pie filling and may take some getting used to. Serve wedges warm - not hot - or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream.

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 large lemons or 3 medium lemons, sliced paper thin, rind and all
2 cups sugar
1 (8 inch) pastry for double-crust pie
4 eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Combine the lemon slices and 1 1/2 cups of the sugar in a bowl; gently toss together so the slices are well coated. Let stand at least 2 hours; longer (even overnight) is better.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Divide the dough in half; roll out one-half and line the pie pan with it.
  • Stir the beaten eggs into the lemon mixture.
  • Spread the mixture over the pie dough.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup sugar over the filling.
  • Roll the remaining dough out and place over the filling.
  • Crimp the edges and cut vents on top.
  • Bake for 15 minutes; lower the heat to 375 degrees and bake for about 20 minutes more, until a knife comes out clean when inserted in the center.

This pie is a great way to use up extra lemons. It's also a nice change from the usual apple or pumpkin pie.
