Lemon Crunchy Pie
This Lemon Crunchy Pie has been my favourite dessert ever since I was a child. It is a great winter dessert to follow a Sunday Roast. You can eat it hot or cold.
It is very rich and quite filling. It is serves 8 although my husband and I manage to finish one between us within 2 days. It is easy to make and the guests are always impressed by it.
