Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine flour and sugar, then cut in cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until dough holds together. Roll out on a floured surface and transfer to pie dish, trimming excess.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the eggs until light and fluffy. Add Greek yogurt, honey, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon zest, mixing until smooth.
  3. Pour the filling into the baked pie crust, ensuring it spreads evenly.
  4. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and jiggles slightly in the center. A knife inserted should come out clean.
  5. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack. Drizzle with honey before serving, slice, and enjoy!
