Comment préparer Depression Lemon Pie

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the crust: Use your favorite pre-made pie crust or prepare one from scratch.
In a medium bowl, break 1 ½ cups of crustless bread (about 4-5 slices) into small pieces.
Add ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter to the bread crumbs and stir to combine.
Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the bread mixture. Let stand for 10 minutes to soften.
In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup granulated sugar and ¼ cup cornstarch until well combined.
Whisk in 2 large egg yolks, then stir in the juice and zest of 2 large lemons.
Pour the lemon mixture over the bread mixture and stir until creamy and well combined.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
Make the meringue: In a clean, dry bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until soft peaks form.
Gradually add 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Spread the meringue evenly over the hot pie filling, sealing the edges to the crust.
Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.
Let the pie cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
