Atlantic Beach Pie

Along the North Carolina Coastline, this pie is famous. Named for the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean, it somehow embodies the salty and sweet push and pull of the ocean. Sweet lemon custard fills a salty crust ever-so reminiscent of summers down the shore. The saltine crust and salt-sprinkled whipped cream serve as a reminder that both sugar and salt bring out the best in life. Get the recipe here.
