How to make this Fruit Pie

This creamy lemon pie recipe is two-part but don’t let that scare you. It’s really easy to execute! And the result is a scrumptious and sweet lemon dessert!

Making the Pie Crust

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While your oven is preheating, combine the melted butter, powdered sugar, and one cup of flour in a medium bowl.

Then press the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan. Make sure to press up the side of the pan as well to form sides. The sides should go three-quarters the way up at least to hold the filling.

Bake the crust 10-15 minutes until the bottom starts to rise and the crust starts to just brown.

Making the Lemon Pie Filling

While the crust is baking, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon juice, two tablespoons of flour, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Then, once the crust is done, immediately fill the pie crust with the lemon filling.

Bake the lemon pie for an additional 15-20 minutes. Let cool for at least 10 minutes and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut and Enjoy!
