  1. So…this recipe was in a fall baking cookbook I bought over a year ago. However…in step 5, it reads to “stir in cream and lemon juice” 🙁 Although the flavor was amazing, the result for me was more like pudding and less like pie! I Googled the recipe this morning to make sure I wasn’t going crazy. I will try again later this week 🙂
