Florida Orange Grove Pie Recipe

Florida Orange Grove Pie Recipe was pinched from <a href="https://www.southernliving.com/recipes/florida-orange-grove-recipe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.southernliving.com.</a>

"This is a great old-timey angel pie with a crust made of baked meringue instead of pastry. In a state where orange groves still cover miles of farmland, of course a cook would turn to citrus to pile atop the crisp candy-like crust. This recipe was originally published in 1961 in The Junior League of Tampa’s cookbook, The Gasparilla Cookbook...."
