National Pie Day

Now I know why everyone gives up on losing weight as a New Year's Resolution by the end of January. Who can resist National Pie Day? I most certainly cannot. To stay on track with my workouts and new eating habits, the hubby and I may need to share one piece of pie. :-)

One of my all time favorite pies is lemon pie. It is the easiest and most delicious dessert to make.

Ingredients:
Deep Dish Pie Crust
Jello Lemon Pie Filling (cook and serve)
Cool Whip

Directions:
Follow the cooking directions for the Pie Crust. It needs to be completely cooked to a golden brown. Let cool.

Follow the cooking instructions on the Jello Lemon Pie Filling. Immediately pour the filling into the cooled pie shell. Let stand for 5-10 minutes. Place the pie in the refrigerator and let set. This usually takes a couple of hours.

Once the pie filling is firm place the entire container of Cool Whip on top of the lemon filling. Cut and serve.


Okay, so it is semi-homemade, and that's okay.  Tell us what your favorite pie recipes are and share them below.

Heating up the oven,
