Fresh lemons are a must in this tart, which uses lemon sections and packs an intense lemon pucker. To get that crispness in the brown-sugar topping, place the tart under a broiler flame--but briefly. Watch it carefully because sugar can burn easily.

Ingredients

Cooking spray
1/2 (14.1-ounce) package refrigerated pie dough (such as Pillsbury)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
1 cup lemon sections (about 4 large lemons), seeds removed
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large egg whites, lightly beaten
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
12 very thin lemon slices
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Reduce oven temperature to 350 °.
Combine granulated sugar, lemon rind, lemon sections, and salt in a medium nonaluminum saucepan, and cook 4 minutes over medium heat or until sugar dissolves.
