Red Raspberry Meringue Pie
Ingredients:
– 1 pre-made pie crust
– 3 cups fresh red raspberries
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 3 tablespoons cornstarch
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 3 egg whites
– 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
– 1/2 cup sugar
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Place the pie crust in a pie dish according to package instructions and bake it in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove it from the oven and let it cool completely.
3. In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of raspberries, 1 cup of sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir for an additional minute.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the raspberry filling cool for about 5 minutes. Pour the filling into the baked pie crust.
5. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add in 1/2 cup sugar, beating on high until stiff, glossy peaks form.
6. Spread the meringue over the raspberry filling, making sure to seal the edges to prevent shrinking.
7. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.
8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
