Apple Meringue Pie

I received this recipe from my mother-in-law, and it's one of my husband's favorites. It's a nice variation on traditional apple pie.

6-8 ServingsPrep: 25 min. Bake: 1 hour

Ingredients

7 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/3 cup milk
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
1 tablespoon butter
MERINGUE:
3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
6 tablespoons sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. In a small bowl, whisk
sugar, flour, milk, egg yolks and lemon peel until smooth. Pour over
apples and toss to coat.
Line a 9-in. pie plate with pastry; trim to 1/2 in. beyond edge of
pie plate and flute edges. Pour filling into crust; dot with butter.
Cover edges loosely with foil.
