A tangy sweet and sour treat, the Meyer lemons make it sweeter than a traditional lemon pie, but still keep that citrus kick.

Recipe Ingredients

1 ¼ cups white sugar
3 large eggs
3 ¾ fluid ounces Meyer lemon juice
¼ cup butter, melted
1 (9 inch) pastry shell, unbaked

Cooking Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Place sugar, eggs, and lemon juice in a blender; blend until smooth, about 3 minutes.
3 Pour melted butter into the blender and blend for 30 seconds more.
4 Transfer lemon filling to the pastry shell.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until filling is just set, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow pie to rest until completely set before serving, about 15 minutes more.

Taking in all reviews, thought I would put all tips together and see how it comes out. Very easy, beats using the stove method, loved it! Here it goes; I used a Trader Joe's pie crust. Pre-baked it for about 10 min & did egg wash and sprinkled some Turbinado sugar along the edges of - Read more ...

The other reviews were so helpful! I blind-baked the crust for twenty minutes on 350° and added the filling to a hot crust and continued baking at 325°. I added 1/2 tsp corn starch, reduced sugar to 1c, and used two whole eggs and one yolk (I only had XL eggs and I thought 3 - Read more ...

Made this PALEO friendly and it was delicious. I made my own coconut flour crust and followed the recipe for the filling with organic ingredients. Then topped it with whipped coconut cream sweetened with a little maple and vanilla. Delicious low-glycemic and gone!

I used the juice from regular lemons and one tangerine,to make it like Meyers lemons, since I could not get them. Not sure what happened, but the filling was so thin (like water) that when I poured it into the pie shell, the pastry must have absorbed the liquid. After cooking and setting, the pie - Read more ...

Really loved it. A neighbor gave me the Meyer lemons. I have never even had a lemon pie before. I loved it just the way it was written,nothing added. Just the right amount of lemon. The sugar is the right amount to bring out the lemon flavor not mask it. I only wish I could - Read more ...

Turned out great and SUPER easy! Having never made a lemon pie before, I chose this recipe because it seemed simple and had good reviews. I followed the recipe, except I used regular lemons and an electric mixer on high speed. This recipe is a keeper for me!

I added a teaspoon of fresh lemon zest to the filling. After the pie had cooled, I spread Cool Whip over the top. I swear, I could eat a vat of this lemon pie filling. It's like a mixture of lemon curd and the filling from lemon meringue pie (which is the same thing, I - Read more ...

This was very tasty! I followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious. I think the filling should have had at least 1 tsp of cornstarch (to help thicken it) but otherwise it was a great pie. Reminds me of a lemon meringue minus the meringue.

Very easy to make and also very tasty. Could be a little tarter perhaps. I wonder if it might taste good with a shortbread crust instead. But as-is an excellent easy choice.
