1

Heat oven to 450°F. Make pie crust as directed on box for One-Crust Baked Shell. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light brown. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
2

In large microwavable bowl, blend filling ingredients. Microwave uncovered on High 5 to 7 minutes or until thickened.
3

In large bowl, beat meringue ingredients with electric mixer on high speed about 2 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
4

Pour hot filling into baked pie shell. Spoon meringue onto hot filling; spread to edge of crust.
5

Place pie on middle oven rack; place sheet of foil on rack below pie in case of spillover. Bake at 350°F 9 to 11 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned. Cool completely, about 3 hours. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie.

Expert Tips

Before spooning onto pie, meringue can be tested after beating by rubbing between your fingers to make sure sugar is dissolved and not gritty.
