Sunshine Orange Pie Sunshine Orange Pie lives up to its name, it tastes just like sunshine should. The winter gloom has arrived in the Pacific NW. That means rainy days and overcast skies. These kind of days get me dreaming about warm, sandy beaches and citrus. Any kind of citrus will do, a lemon, lime or an orange! This Sunshine Orange Pie hit the spot and brightened my day even though there were clouds in the sky. If you love a key lime pie, you are going to love this pie too! I found this recipe over at Cook’s Country and they called it sour orange pie. I guess there are such things as sour oranges but you don’t find them here in the Pacific NW so I just used regular navel oranges and let me tell you, there is nothing sour about this pie. It is a bit of sweet sunshine in your mouth! This orange pie tasted delicious and it looked even prettier on my new blue and white dishes I found at Goodwill last week. Not only is there plenty of orange goodness in the pie, it is topped with some lovely oranged flavored whipped cream for even more orange goodness. So whether you have sunshine or not where you live, grab a fork, close your eyes, take a bite and you will have sunshine!
