Sunshine on a plate, this pie balances a bright, tangy lemon custard against a soft, golden cloud of meringue. The silky filling is cooked on the stovetop until glossy and thick, then piled into a crust and crowned with billowy peaks that bake to a toasty finish. Chilled and sliced, it's the refreshing dessert that always draws admiring glances at the table.
