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.

Tip: Crush or grind finely about 4 ginger snap cookies (about 3 Tbs.); sprinkle over the bottom of the baked pie crust before filling. This makes a moisture barrier and prevents the bottom from getting soggy. Delicious pie!
What a lovely pie! It looks delicious and beautiful too. Thanks for the tip. Happy baking :)
Have been baking this pie since the 1960's. My all time favorite!!
Thanks Jello.
Is there a substitute for the ginger snap cookies you put on the bottom of crust?
