Easy Lemon Meringue Pie Recipe with Graham Cracker Crust (A Promise Fulfilled)

I have owed Michael a lemon meringue pie since last July. Michael did not get as much of the results of the first lemon meringue pie recipe that I had made in July like everyone else in the family, so I promised that I would make him one. Thankfully, this easy lemon meringue pie recipe allowed me to keep my promise.

While I was pleased with the other lemon meringue pie, it was just too much work. When Michael recently mentioned that he wanted “his” pie before the end of the summer break, I tried to talk him out of it by offering him something else. I was *this* close to getting him to change his mind until he called in his lawyer (also known as my husband Reggie). Oh well…

Reggie advised me to just buy a pre-made lemon pie filling. I considered that option but felt that would be a cop-out. Pre-made pie crust? Yes. Pre-made filling? No. (I know…my standards are arbitrary.)

Anyway, I ended up merging three different recipes – my previous one, the one from the back of the Bob’s Red Mill cornstarch that I had bought and the food.com “Ultimate Lemon Meringue Pie” recipe. This time, it was relatively easy to make the lemon meringue pie. Even better…all of my guys loved it.

My husband now has a new favorite lemon meringue pie. As for me, I now have three pies that I feel confident making any day…apple, sweet potato, and lemon meringue. Best of all, I kept my promise to my little one who has never forgotten a promise that I have made to him…ever!

(P.S. Although I don’t especially focus on making healthy desserts, I appreciate the fact that this easy lemon meringue pie recipe version has less sugar, butter, and eggs than the previous one.)
