I made this pie yesterday using a combination of this recipe and the one from America's Test Kitchen. The meringue on this one seemed so much simpler. The pie was excellent. The lemon filling was tart and sweet, i think the amount of lemon zest was perfect. The meringue was lovely. Mine did weep a bit, but i was okay with that. This was the requested dessert for our grandmothers 81st birthday--we all loved it and i would definately make it again. Not as labor intensive as I thought it would be!

This is an excellent lemon pie. I prepared it as a dessert for Easter dinner and my FIL ate 2 pieces after a huge meal. As Shelly had stated, it was sweeter than some lemon pies, and I therefore increased the amount of lemon zest slightly. The ginger snaps were an interesting flavor addition. I also had never made a meringue with both powdered and granulated sugar and vanilla before. This meringue had much more flavor than other meringues I have sampled in the past. It was a lovely pie and simple to make.

Wonderful! My dad requested this for Thanksgiving - I didn't even think I liked lemon meringue pie, but when I had a bite of this - Wow! The recipe/instructions were easy to follow and the flavor was great. I loved the addition of crushed gingersnap cookies. I didn't have any problems with the filling or meringue. Thanks Mean Chef!

Great pie! I omitted the ginger snap crumbs due to a picky eater in my house, but followed the rest of the directions as written. I had 3 small lemons on hand, so had to make up the difference with some bottled juice. I thought 6T of cornstarch seemed like alot, but the results were perfect (I thought the pie might taste starchy, but it didn't). Making the meringue with the cream of tartar makes for a much better result than without (like I used to make it),and I'd never combined gran. sugar and powdered before in a meringue - nice - and the grated lemon zest gave the finished pie nice flavor. Will make again - thanks for such a good recipe.

Just wonderful! Best when served chilled, and I might add a bit more lemon juice next time as it wasn't as strong as I would have liked. This is just personal preference though. The final result looked professional, and I made a simpe crust out of 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup dessicated coconut, and 2 tbsp butter or oil. Mix the crust ingredients and pat into pie tin, then bake for 8 min at 350 degrees F. Easy! And the coconut flavor goes really well with the lemon!

Very good lemon meringue pie. It seemed sweeter to me than most lemon pies. I would have preferred it to be more tart but it is still a very good pie.

Great pie! The meringue was especially delicious - perfect amount of vanilla and so easy! Filling was a bit runny, but I think that was my fault. Will definately make again!
