- Spread the meringue over the lemon filling, ensuring it touches the edges of the crust to seal the pie completely.
- Use a spatula or spoon to create decorative swirls in the meringue.
- Bake the pie for 10–12 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Tips for Perfect Results
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor; bottled juice won’t compare.
- Ensure the meringue seals the filling entirely to prevent it from shrinking during baking.
- Let the pie cool at room temperature to allow the filling to set properly.
