Sometimes a piece of pie is all. Just the smell of it makes me feel more productive, more nurturing, more appealing. Butter and lemon and sugar and vanilla wafting through the house turns this place into some kind of home sweet home.
If you want your home to be as sweet as this, you must write a book or two, be the guest of honor at a certain book club in the highly controversial state of Arizona and ask the lady with the cats who bring roaches and lizards and mice into the house (but not into the pie!) to see if she'll give you the recipe. Or, you can just scroll down here for the recipe. Thanks, Maggi!
Arizona Sunshine Lemon Pie
1 large lemon
4 eggs
1 stick (8 tbs.) melted butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 C sugar
1 unbaked pie crust
Whipped Cream
Preheat oven to 350. Leaving rind on, cut lemon into small chunks. Remove seeds. In a blender or food processor, blend together lemon chunks, eggs, butter, vanilla & sugar until mixture is smooth and creamy. Pour into unbaked pie crust. Bake for about 40 minutes. If crust becomes too brown, cover gently with foil and finish baking. Serve with whipped cream (and strawberries!).
