Every one has a lemon pie recipe so hope this is different and you like it. Naturally it is the borden condensed milk recipe but with a twist. Our local sea food resturant serves it in a Ritz Cracker Crust. Really is good and we all know lemon and cheese crackers go good with fish. I just wanted to share if you don't have it...

  • Use a food processor to crush the Ritz crackers into fine crumbs. This will help to ensure that the crust is evenly textured and holds together well.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the Ritz crackers in a resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin.
  • Be sure to press the cracker crumbs firmly into the pie plate. This will help to prevent the crust from cracking when you bake it.
  • If you are using a store-bought pie crust, be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • When filling the pie crust, be sure to leave about 1 inch of space around the edges. This will allow the crust to expand as it bakes.
  • Bake the pie at the temperature and for the time specified in the recipe. Overbaking can cause the crust to become dry and crumbly.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the filling from running out of the crust.
