I discovered the recipe for this distinctive pie in a very old church cookbook. With its fresh-tasting filling and fluffy frosting, it's truly an elegant final course. I'm happy to make it all year-round. -Delores Edgecomb, Atlanta, New York

I had a hard time finding fresh oranges, so I used canned orange juice instead. The pie still turned out great.
