Lemon meringue pie is the perfect balance of tart and sweet, with a silky lemon filling and a fluffy meringue topping. This dessert is ideal for any occasion, offering a refreshing and light finish to your meal. The homemade crust adds a special touch to this timeless dessert.

1. Prepare the Pie Crust: Start with a buttery homemade or store-bought pie crust. Blind bake it to avoid a soggy bottom.
2. Make the Lemon Filling: Combine fresh lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks to create a smooth, tangy filling.
3. Whip the Meringue: Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gradually add sugar for a glossy finish.
4. Assemble the Pie: Pour the lemon filling into the cooled crust and top with the meringue, making sure to seal the edges to prevent shrinkage.
5. Bake and Cool: Bake until the meringue is golden and allow the pie to cool completely before slicing for the best results.
