Here's a cool tidbit I know about lemon pie. The classic lemon meringue pie became popular in the 19th century. Also, the modern version that has layers of lemon curd and meringue was perfected in the mid-1800s by a Swiss baker named Alexander Frehse.

Lemon pie was once considered a luxury treat in the early 20th century due to the cost of lemons. The use of meringue on top became popular as a way to showcase both the skill of the baker and the pie’s delicious filling. A sweet piece of baking history!
