How To Make angel pie
-
Step 1Heat oven to 275 degrees.
-
Step 2Grease 9-inch pie pan. In small bowl, beat egg whites-use 4 if you have a larger pie pan (reserve yolks) with cream of tartar until frothy.
-
Step 3Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, beating continuously until stiff peaks form.
-
Step 4Spread or pour over bottom of prepared pie pan. Meringue puffs up during baking, so spread only to the edge of pan.
-

-
Step 6In small saucepan, combine filling ingredients except whipped cream.
-
Step 7Cook over low heat until thickened stirring constantly.
-
Step 8Cool. Fold into whipped cream. Pour into meringue shell.
