Lemon Angel Pie A K A The Best Lemon Pie Barefeet In The Kitchen

I can not get over how simple and how fantastic this lemon pie recipe is. When I first saw this recipe for Lemon Angel Pie on my friend Leigh Anne’s blog years ago, I knew that I needed to make it. With a name like “Lemon Angel Pie” and those creamy cold lemony layers, this was a guaranteed win with my family.

Lemon Pie

My favorite pie for as long as I can remember has been a Lemon Meringue Pie. While that will forever hold a special place in my heart, (thanks for all the years you’ve made that one for me, Mom!) Lemon Angel Pie? This officially and beyond a doubt trumps the classic lemon meringue pie. I have a well-established love for lemon desserts. From the unforgettable Layered Lemon Cheesecake to Sunburst Lemon Bars, Lemon Coffee Cake, Lemon Crinkle Cookies, Glazed Lemon Cookies, Creamy Lemon Fruit Dip, Homemade {5 minute!} Lemon Curd, Glazed Lemon Drop Cookies, Sweet and Tart Lemon Ice Cream, and Lemon Sorbet. I honestly don’t need an excuse to try another lemon dessert. I have a long list of favorites and even more yet waiting to be tried. However, every single year, as winter turns to spring, I find myself craving lemon desserts. There’s just something irresistible about a tart or tangy-sweet dessert. Over the past few years, Lemon Angel Pie has become one of our favorites though and I owe Leigh Anne a huge thanks for this one.

Lemon Pie Recipe

This pie may never be a beauty queen, but it is the most memorable pie I have ever made. Not one person has failed to sigh and smile as they take that first bite! The meringue crust is simply the airiest, lightest, slightly crunchy crust you can imagine. I adore it. The layers here are lighter, fluffier, and creamier than a classic lemon meringue pie could ever hope to be. I teased you with this pie on Instagram for weeks when we first discovered it. I keep making it because I can not get enough of it. I have fallen in love with this crazy easy meringue crust and I already have plans for more angel pies all summer long! The meringue crust is so EASY to make, please don’t be intimidated! I even snapped a few pictures for you to illustrate it. Basically, you whip the eggs until they are fluffy, add sugar, stir, and scoop it into the pie pan. Less than 10 minutes start to finish and you’ll have a perfect meringue crust headed into the oven.
