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 hours before cutting.
