How to Make Luscious Lemon Meringue Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare your pie crust (homemade or store-bought).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the commercial lemon pie filling with 1/4 cup of sugar (adjust to your filling's sweetness preference).
- Add the zest of 1 lemon and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to the pie filling. Stir well to combine.
- Pour the lemon filling into the prepared pie crust.
- In a separate bowl, beat 3 large egg whites until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar while continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Carefully spoon the meringue onto the lemon filling, ensuring it seals the edges of the crust.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
