Prepare pie crust according to package directions for TWO-CRUST PIE using 9-inch pie pan.

Remove from heat stir in lemon juice and 1 tablespoon margarine. Pour into crust-lined pan. Top with second crust seal edges and flute. Cut slits in top crust. Bake at 425°F. for 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown.
Meanwhile, in small heavy saucepan, combine all topping ingredients. Cook over low heat until sugar is dissolved, stirring constantly. Remove pie from oven.
