best ever lemon meringue pie
(1)
This is a recipe that Ann Landers put in her column years ago. She said, "I got this recipe from a taxi driver in New York 20 years ago."
My husband loves Lemon Pie, so I had to try it. To this day I still make this.
My granddaughter made this a few months back and fell in love with it. The picture showing is the one she made. The recipe is very simple. You definitely won't be disappointed.
