Famous Lemon Meringue Pie

Directions

Combine pie filling mix, ⅔ cup sugar and ¼ cup of water in saucepan.

Blend in egg yolks and remaining water. Cook and stir over medium heat, until mixture comes to a full bubbling boil. Remove from heat.

Blend in lemon juice and butter. Cool 5 minutes, stirring twice. Pour into pie shell.

Beat egg whites until foamy throughout. Gradually beat in 6 tablespoons sugar and continue beating until mixture will form shiny peaks.

Spread over pie filling. Bake at 425℉ (220℃) for 5 to 10 minutes or until meringue is delicately brown. Cool at least 4 hour before cutting.
