Editors Review
A better title would be creamy grapefruit-orange-lime-lemon pie because all of those citrus varieties work! The fat content in this pie is lower than other lemon pie recipes as it uses low fat graham crackers, no butter in the crust, and egg whites with only one full egg instead of 2 full eggs. As with many recipes, you can change it to make it your own by using a different citrus fruit, adding butter to the crust or additional egg yolk to make it a little more custard like.Chef
