Steps:
- Zest and thinly slice the lemons into rounds, removing any seeds.
- Add the lemon zest and slices and 2 cups (400 g) sugar to a large bowl. Stir to coat the lemon slices well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and macerate in the refrigerator for 4 hours, or up to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Add the beaten eggs, melted butter, flour, and salt to the lemon mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
- On a lightly floured surface, divide the disc of pie dough in half. Working 1 portion at a time, form into a smaller disc and roll out into a circle about ⅛ inch (3mm) thick. Drape 1 dough round in a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish. Fill the pie dough with the lemon mixture, then top with the other dough round. Trim any excess dough around the edges, press the edges together and crimp to seal.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water until fully combined.
- Brush the top of the pie with the egg wash and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar. Cut 4 small decorative slits in the center of the pie to vent.
- Place the pie dish on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the crust begins to brown.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and bake the pie for 22-24 minutes more, or until the crust is shiny and deep golden brown.
- Let the pie cool for 45-60 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Top each slice with a lemon twist and dust with powdered sugar.
- Enjoy!

LUSCIOUS LEMON LAYER PIE
Steps:
- Pie Crust: Whisk flour with a fork while still in the bag or cannister. Gently spoon out flour into measuring cups. (This reduces flour by as much as 1/8 to 1/4 cup).
- Then sift flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add shortening and cut into pea sized bits with pastry blender. Add cold water gradually until just dampened. Place on waxed paper and gather into ball from the outside corners. Press dough into a 6-inch pancake shape. Wrap with plastic wrap.
- Chill at least 30 minutes and then roll out between 2 large pieces of plastic wrap. Remove 1 side of plastic wrap, lightly flour, if necessary, and place into a 9-inch clear glass deep dish pan.
- Remove plastic wrap and flute edges. Prick bottom and sides with a fork. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Use extra pastry for cut-outs in the shapes of lemons, stars, etc. for decoration.
- Bottom Layer: In saucepan combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Mix with wire whisk; blend in lemon juice and cold water; then add egg yolks and blend until smooth. Add butter and gradually stir in boiling water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly; boil 2 minutes; remove from heat and add lemon extract, zest/peel, and food coloring. Partially cool for 30 minutes, and pour into the baked pie shell. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before adding second layer.
- Second Layer: In a small bowl, cream sugar and cream cheese with spatula until smooth. Add milk and stir until well blended. Add pudding and beat with electric mixer for 2 minutes until thickened. Pour on bottom layer. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Top Layer: Cream together the sugar and cream cheese until smooth. Fold in the whipped dessert topping and spread on top of cooled lemon pudding. Garnish with extra pastry cutouts, citrus or mint leaves. Chill at least 4 hours before serving.

SUGARTIME LEMON PIE
I knew just what to serve for dessert at the theme party I gave for my sister's birthday. When she was growing up during the 1950s, she preferred this creamy sweet-tart treat that our mom made over any kind of cake. -Judy Nix, Toccoa, Georgia

NO-BAKE SUGARTIME LEMON PIE
I got this recipe from "Birds and Blooms" magazine. It is really simple and very delicious. I must warn you though, it is very sweet. The first time my boyfriend and I tried it, we took regular sized pie pieces and it was waaay too much. So, due to all of this pie's amazing sweetness, take a much smaller piece than you normally would. Besides, you can always go back for more! Cook time is total refrigeration time.

Tips:
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as bright.
- Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing can make the filling tough.
- Bake the pie until the filling is set. The filling should be firm but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld.
- Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious richness to the pie.
