How to Make Omie's Lemon Meringue Pie Easy

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Crush 1 ½ cups of graham crackers or digestive biscuits into fine crumbs. Mix with ½ cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter until evenly moistened.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool completely.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¼ cup cornstarch, ½ teaspoon salt, and the zest of 2 lemons.
Gradually whisk in 1 ½ cups of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup of lemon juice and 2 large egg yolks. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the lemon filling into the cooled pie crust.
In a clean, dry bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add ¾ cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Spread the meringue over the lemon filling, sealing the edges to the crust.
Use the back of a spoon to create peaks on the meringue. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden brown.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 4 hours to allow the filling to set.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
