Meyer Lemon Shaker Pie
 
Makes 1 (9-inch) pie
Ingredients
  • 2 large Meyer lemons (349 grams)
  • 1¾ cups (350 grams) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (55 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon (1.5 grams) kosher salt
  • Ginger Pie Dough (recipe follows)
  • 3 tablespoons (24 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 4 large eggs (200 grams), lightly beaten
  • ¼ cup (57 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg white (30 grams), lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon (15 grams) water
  • Sparkling sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
  1. Using a serrated knife, cut lemons crosswise into ⅛- to 1/16-inch-thick slices, discarding ends and seeds. Coarsely chop lemon slices into ½- to ¾-inch pieces, and place in a large bowl with any juices. Stir in granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt; cover and let stand at room temperature, stirring occasionally, for 4 hours or up to overnight.
  2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  3. Let Ginger Pie Dough stand at room temperature until slightly softened, 15 to 20 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll half of dough into a 12-inch circle (about ⅛ inch thick). Press into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add eggs and melted butter, whisking until well combined. Add flour mixture to lemon mixture, stirring until well combined; pour into prepared crust.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together egg white and 1 tablespoon (15 grams) water. Brush dough edges with egg wash.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll remaining dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully place over filling; trim dough to ½- to 1-inch overhang. Fold edges under, and crimp as desired. Brush dough with egg wash; sprinkle with sparkling sugar. Using a sharp knife, cut 8 slits in top to vent.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes, covering edges with foil to prevent excess browning and re-cutting slits in top, if needed. Reduce temperature to 350°F (180°C). Bake until crust is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes more. Let cool completely before serving.
