First I made 8 wedges just easier! Then I sprinkled them with sugar and cinnamon. The top crust I could have done without. The lemons I blended then added to cream mixture. The filling was very yummy. I would like this so much more with a whip cream topping. Thanks for a great recipe. I will make again but with a whipped cream topping. I also served this chilled.
