Loved it!! It was not set at 40 minutes and I baked mine for 55 minutes.It did crack a little so maybe next time I will not bake it as long. It didn't matter to any of use that ate it. I also added a little more juice and zest. I can not wait to make this again. Thank you Terri this is a keeper!

We loved it, but again, Ken and I love lemon and so do most of our guests. I think I added a bit too much of the lemon peel, because the pie turned out a little bitter. Of coarse it was devoured within seconds, so go figure. Next time I will make my own graham craker crust, the packaged ones aren't to our liking. Thanks for sharing the calories. It's a keeper.

I've made this recipe several times since I copied it off the back of a HoneyMaid Graham Cracker Crust package. It is very simple to make and is very refreshing. Great choice if you're looking for something a little tart.
