Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 450°F (232°C), ensuring it reaches the proper temperature for an even bake.
-
-
Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the applesauce, lemon juice, lemon rind, both types of sugar, eggs, butter, margarine, and salt. Blend these ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
-
Assemble the Pie: Pour the blended filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform baking.
-
Initial Baking: Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. This initial high temperature will help set the filling.
-
Reduce the Heat: After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes. The pie is done when a knife inserted halfway between the center and the edge comes out clean, indicating the filling is properly set.
-
Cooling: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack.
-
Serving Suggestion: If desired, garnish each slice with sweetened whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
-
Note: To prevent the crust from browning too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil during the initial baking, removing it for the last 10 minutes of baking to achieve a perfect golden crust.
Enjoy this delectable Marlborough Pie as a centerpiece at your next gathering, bringing a slice of tradition to your dessert table!
