This Atlantic Beach Pie is a legendary North Carolina dessert that perfectly balances sweet, salty, and tart. Unlike most pies that use a graham cracker or pastry base, this one has a saltine cracker crust, giving a unique savory crunch that cuts through the richness of the sweetened condensed milk. The bright citrus filling makes it a refreshing treat that tastes like a summer afternoon on the coast.
