When I saw this recipe demonstrated on @pinchofyum I was skeptical because it called for an ENTIRE lemon, rind and all! But turns out, that lemon and 3 other simple Ingredients create this sweet-and-tart delicious, summery pie! It’s really simple to make if using a pre-made pie crust, and it easily sets up!!

  • 1 lemon
