Atlantic Beach Pie


This past Friday night, following the amazing deviled short ribs dinner, there was also dessert. This is a North Carolina favorite and also very much a Roediger House favorite: Atlantic Beach pie. It's our seaside take on Florida's more famous key lime pie, but we go for lemon as the tangy central flavor and mix it up a bit by nestling the goo into a crushed cracker crust. The recipe calls for saltines but also encourages Ritz as an alternative. I'm always fond of that alternative. And I'm always fond of this pie.
