Sliced Lemon Pie This is what the Old West bakers adapted from an old Shaker recipe from Ohio. This is a quite tart dessert. 5 large lemons 2 cups granulated sugar 1 teaspoon salt 6 eggs, beaten Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Skin and remove all white from lemons. Slice thin, remove seeds, and mix with sugar and salt. Let stand for at least 2 hours. Add beaten eggs to lemons and mix very well. Pour into a prepared 8-inch pie crust. Cover with top crust and bake for 45 to 55 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. This texture will be considerably coarser than a modern lemon pie. Cool in the refrigerator and serve in small slices.
