Arizona Sunshine Lemon Pie
Ingredients:
- 1 large lemon (whole)
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Lemon: Wash the lemon thoroughly. Cut off the ends and then slice the lemon into thin pieces, removing any seeds.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, add the lemon slices (with the rind), sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well combined. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Prepare the Pie Crust: Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges if desired.
- Pour Filling: Pour the lemon mixture from the blender into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is slightly golden. The pie should be firm in the center when done.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. Serve chilled or at room temperature, optionally garnished with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
