Magic Lemon Pie

This was part of the handwritten notes my niece, Stephanie, retrieved from her (my mother’s) grandmother’s prescription drawer.
While searching for pictures, I found it to be a recipe from Eagle Brand Milk 1952 ad recipe book – how awesome !!
It’s also great because you don’t have to pre-cook the filling and you can use any type of baked pie crust, unbaked cracker crust, or a graham cracker crust. You need to bake the meringue but only for 15 minutes. Prepare it as it cools.
Here oh go !!
