How to Make Orange Meringue Pie
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup cornstarch.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks, 1 cup fresh orange juice, and 1/4 cup water.
- Gradually whisk the egg yolk mixture into the sugar and cornstarch mixture in the saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and boils.
- Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon grated orange zest.
- Immediately pour the filling into a 9-inch pre-baked pie crust.
- Top with meringue (recipe below). Ensure the meringue is sealed to the edges of the crust to prevent leaking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack away from drafts before serving. Enjoy!
