Betty Eder - Cucamonga, California
Bake-Off® Contest 32, 1986
There's no need for meringue on this lemon pie. Luscious layers of tangy lemon cream bake inside a flaky crust and a sprinkling of sugar and nutmeg is all that's needed on top!




   1 (15-ounce) package refrigerated pie crust (2 crusts)
   
   CREAM CHEESE FILLING
   1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
   1/3 cup sugar
   1 teaspoon lemon juice
   1 egg
   
   LEMON FILLING
   1/4 cup sugar
   2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
   3/4 cup light corn syrup
   1/3 cup lemon juice
   2 tablespoons margarine or butter, softened
   1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
   2 eggs, beaten, reserving 1 teaspoon for topping
   
   TOPPING
   1 teaspoon sugar
   1/4 teaspoon nutmeg


Prepare pie crust according to package directions for TWO-CRUST PIE using 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom or 9-inch pie pan. Place 1 prepared crust in pan; press in bottom and up sides of pan. Trim edges if necessary.

Heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, combine all cream cheese filling ingredients at medium speed until well blended. Spoon into crust-lined pan. In same bowl, combine all lemon filling ingredients at low speed. Carefully pour over cream cheese filling. Top with second crust; trim edges if necessary.* Cut slits in top crust. Brush with 1 teaspoon reserved egg. Combine 1 teaspoon sugar and nutmeg; sprinkle over crust.

Bake at 375°F. for 45 to 55 minutes or until filling is set and crust is golden brown. Cool completely; remove sides of pan. Store in refrigerator.

*TIP: If using 9-inch pie pan, top with second crust; seal edges and flute. Cut slits in top crust. Continue as directed above.
