  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Gradually add 1 cup (227g) of marshmallow creme, beating on medium-high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.
  4. Spread the meringue evenly over your cooled pie filling.
  5. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden brown and firm to the touch.
