LEMON SUPREME PIE
A friend and I often visit a local restaurant for pie and coffee. When they stopped carrying our favorite lemon supreme pie, I got busy in the kitchen and created this version, which we think tastes even better! The combination of the cream cheese and tart lemon is wonderful. -Jana Beckman, Wamego, Kansas

- Be sure to chill the pie crust before filling it and baking it. This will help to prevent the crust from shrinking and cracking.
- Bake the pie for the full amount of time specified in the recipe. If you underbake it, the filling will be runny and the crust will be soggy.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
