I love to bake. I am a teenager, so i don't have much experience under my belt. However, this was super easy to make. I made this for my friend's birthday and she loved it! Now everyone wants their present from me to be a pie. :

I'm a beginner baker and this turned out great for my first meringue pie! I made this and Alton
Brown's Lemon Meringue at the same time to compare head to head. Both baked perfectly! Paula's was creamier, sweeter and had a little lighter lemon flavor and was delicious. Alton's had a bright lemon tartness and had a lighter texture and was delicious. Alton's wasn't difficult, but it had more ingredients and steps. Paula's one bowl and a whisk was very very easy.

Well, I definitely should have read the reviews before trying this recipe! Like many others, the filling didn't set fully and was a little runny. However, everyone thought the taste was perfect. Will definitely use this recipe again, but will take the advice and bake the filling first.

This was the best lemon meringue pie I ever ate! It was the first time I've ever attempted to make one. I filled it and let it bake while I made the meringue (about 10-15 min then after I topped it put it back in for another 15 min. You have to let it cool completely and I refrigerated mine over night. It set up perfect. It was the right tartness. I used bottled organic lemon juice and lemon extract instead of zest and still was great. There is none of it left and I think I could have eaten the whole pie myself!

I took some of the advice from other comments and added the meringue after the pie had cooked for 10 minutes and put it back in for 10 minutes. It set just fine but the lemon filling had an odd sour or bitter taste but not lemony. It was awful. The lemon juice and zest I used tasted fine and the eggs were fresh, so I'm not sure what caused the bad taste.

READ READ READ READ. for those having problems with the meringue. the problem is that there is a typo for the meringue recipe. it says to use cream or tartar. most people will go for a cream when in fact the recipe calls for cream OF tartar. that will help set the meringue for the pie. found the mistake by watching a youtube video.

There are amazing pies and there are amazing pies. And this is one amazing pie. I have used it three times and it works very well- Its simple, quick, easy and perfect for a beginner 12 yr. old baker like myself. :-

I didn't find the filling to set very well. I will bake the filling if there is a next time. Also, for a more lemony taste, I used 1 cup of lemon juice.
