Frances Benthin SCIO, OREGON This is one of my favorite pies to make in the fall. The spiced filling pairs perfectly with the buttery, flaky crust. I always make two of these luscious pies—one is never enough.

Filling is not good - far too much lemon peel and not very sweet. If I made it again I'd omit the lemon peel and add some sugar. Crust was yummy and workable though.
