→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
02 - 1 cup fresh raspberries
03 - 1 cup granulated sugar
04 - 3 large eggs
05 - 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)
06 - 2 tablespoons lemon zest
07 - ¼ cup all-purpose flour
08 - ½ teaspoon salt
09 - 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)

→ For Serving (Optional)

10 - Whipped cream (for topping)
11 - Fresh raspberries (for garnish)

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
02 - If using a store-bought crust, place it in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. If making homemade, roll out the dough and fit it into the dish.
03 - Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling. Cover with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Bake for 10-15 minutes until slightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
04 - In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar and flour. Mix in the eggs, then add lemon juice and zest, stirring until well combined.
05 - Gently fold in fresh raspberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
06 - Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it evenly.
07 - Return to the oven and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes until the filling is set and slightly jiggles in the center.
08 - Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.
09 - For best results, place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
10 - Top with whipped cream and additional raspberries if desired.

# Notes:

01 - This Lemon Raspberry Pie captures the essence of summer with its perfect balance of tart lemon and sweet raspberries.
02 - For a more intense lemon flavor, you can increase the amount of lemon zest.
03 - If fresh raspberries aren't available, you can use frozen raspberries that have been thawed and drained.
04 - This pie can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
