Lemon Layer Wedges

"This is a recipe I'm going to make for Limon, Colorado's Heritage Days in August where they sell slices in a dining car of an old train car. Piecrust rounds are the layers, and this is a prize tested recipe from Better Homes. When I try it, I will review it. Mrs. Norma Coppenbarger was the prize winner. I'm estimating preparation time."
