Bill Smith's Atlantic beach pie from Food52 by Bill Smith

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I make this with grapefruit juice (I have a grapefruit tree) and it is a hit.

    I had heard of this pie on NPR and also own a couple of Bill Smith's cookbooks. I'd been wanting to try the recipe, but hadn't gotten around to it. Then I attended the Southern Foodways Alliance symposium in New Orleans and had the great pleasure of sitting next to Bill Smith at the last dinner of the event. The next weekend I hosted a 4th of July party and my 10-year-old daughter made this pie with a little help from me. It was delicious and didn't last long!

    Food52 Online Recipe - I saw this on a pie blog I discovered the other day and I couldn't resist it. This sure seems like a summer pie to me. I made lemon this time. Next time I'll try lime. So delicious! The salty cracker crumb crust takes this from good to great. We're all stuffed like pigs here, I barely have the energy to type!
