How to Make Mrs Stewart's Pecan Pie W Meringue

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prick a 9-inch unbaked pie crust with a fork.
  3. Bake pie crust for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Cool completely.
  4. Spread 1 cup pecan halves in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant, shaking the pan occasionally to prevent burning. Let cool completely.
  5. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour until pale and thick.
  6. Add 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 1/4 cup water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  7. Microwave on high for 5 1/2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is thick like pudding.
  8. Stir in the roasted pecans.
  9. Let the filling cool completely for at least 20 minutes.
  10. Pour the cooled filling into the prepared pie crust.
  11. Increase oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
  12. In a clean, dry medium bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with an electric mixer until foamy.
  13. Gradually add 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  14. Spread the meringue over the pie filling, sealing the edges to the crust.
  15. Bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.
