Why is it called Lemon Magic Pie?
The “magic” comes from the contrast of textures—a crisp buttery crust, smooth and tangy lemon filling, and a light, fluffy toasted meringue that melts in your mouth.
Can I use bottled lemon juice?
Fresh lemon juice is strongly recommended for the brightest, freshest flavor, but bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch.
How do I keep the meringue from weeping?
Spread the meringue over the hot filling, seal it completely to the crust, and avoid overbaking.
Can I make it a day ahead?
Yes! In fact, making it the day before allows the filling to set beautifully, making it easier to slice and serve.
