Stephen is a great cook, and this is just the latest in great dishes he’s made. The lemons came from a Meyer lemon tree he grew. He kept playing with the recipe until he adjusted it to this one. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Some folks prefer a graham cracker crust, while others want a traditional pie crust. This pie can be made with either, although our Thanksgiving 2024 pie had a graham cracker crust. =^..^=
