INGREDIENTS For the pie: 1 large lemon 4 large eggs ½ cup butter, melted 1 teaspoon vanilla 1½ cups sugar 1 (9 inches) pie crust, unbaked (I used a frozen deep dish)  For the topping: (optional) 1 cup whipping cream 2 Tablespoons sugar INSTRUCTIONS Take your pie crust out of the freezer or make your own. I used a frozen deep dish pie crust and it worked perfectly. I placed it on a cookie sheet because the metal pan was not that strong but if using a glass pie plate you won’t need to do this.
