Sliced Lemon Pie

Source of Recipe

Posted by Linda Roth


Recipe Introduction

This is what the Old West bakers adapted from an old Shaker recipe from Ohio. This is a quite tart dessert.

List of Ingredients

5 large lemons
2 C. sugar
1 tsp. salt
6 eggs, beaten


Recipe

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Skin and remove all white from lemons. Slice thin, remove seeds, and mix with sugar and salt. Let stand for at least 2 hours.

Add beaten eggs to lemons and mix very well. Pour into a prepared 8-inch pie crust. Cover with top crust and bake for 45 to 55 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. This texture will be considerably coarser than a modern lemon pie. Cool in the refrigerator and serve in small slices.
