Comments

This is an old Eagle Brand recipe. It gets rave reviews, is very rich and a small piece is usually enough. (ya ya, sure sure..) It is absolutely delicious.

A couple of important notes:

1. Add the sweetened condensed milk VERY slowly to avoid lumps.

2. The lemon juice SETS the mixture, and works FAST. Pour into shell before it sets completely.

3. When filling is quite solid, top with the pie filling.

4. CHILL thoroughly

5. Optional: You may LIGHTLY brush the cracker crust with BEATEN egg white and then bake for about 10 minutes in med-hot oven. This will keep the crust crisp longer) =====Bon Appetit! (use some control, eh?)=======
