Lemon Meringue Pie image

I think of my grandmother every time I make this pie...it's a recipe she made often. Because of my husband's engineering job, we've lived in several states, and I've shared this recipe with lots of friends I've made over the years.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pie turned out great! I used a store-bought crust to save time, and it still came out delicious.

I made this pie for a party and everyone loved it! The crust was a little tricky to make, but it was well worth the effort.

This was the best lemon meringue pie I have ever had! The crust was flaky and buttery, the lemon filling was tart and tangy, and the meringue was light and fluffy. I will definitely be making this recipe again and again.
