I’m dreaming of this easy lemon pie! If you love lemon desserts like I do, you must save this recipe! This pie is amazing.

It’s lemony flavor from fresh lemon juice and zest pairs perfectly with a crunchy cinnamon graham cracker crust. And oh the creaminess – it’s heaven. You just have to try it for yourself!

How to Make Easy Lemon Pie

• This lemon pie can be thrown together in no time. Really, the most difficult part is squeezing the lemons. It’s my kind of recipe.

• First, crush the graham crackers in a ziplock bag- I just hammer it with a rolling pin. 🙂

• Combine with melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon to form your crust. Press it into the bottom and partially up around the sides of a 9 inch pie dish. 

• Chill the crust while you work on the next steps.

• Squeeze lemons until you get 3/4 cup lemon juice. Combine with condensed milk, sour cream, and zest and pour into crust.

• Bake for 8 minutes (you will see very tiny bubbles forming/breaking on top).  Refrigerate until well chilled. Top with a little zest and whipped cream!
