Assemble the Pie:

Divide the dough in half. Roll out one half between two sheets of plastic wrap, slightly larger than your pie pan. Fit it into a greased pie pan. Pour in the filling. Roll out the remaining dough and place it over the filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.

Pro Tip:

Use corn starch instead of potato starch for a better color and taste. Wheat flour can be a substitute if preferred.

Note:

You can replace one of the lemons with an orange for a different flavor twist or use only oranges for a sweet, fragrant pie.
