A True Lemon twist on the classic lemon meringue pie. You'll save a whole lot of time by not having to cut and squeeze all that citrus fruit!

Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
-

- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
For the filling
For the meringue:
Directions
Before you begin, take eggs out of the refrigerator and allow to remain at room temperature for a few minutes first. They will separate more easily this way.
For the pie:
- Add the True Lemon and water mixture to a pot over very lowheat with the sugar, cornstarch, water, and yolks.
- Bring heat up gradually, as to not scramble the egg yolks. Warm until mixture becomes thick, while stirring frequently with a whisk.
- Pour into your pre-baked pie shell and set aside to let cool.
For the meringue:
- Add salt to the egg whites and beat with an electric mixer until it starts to get fluffy.
- Gradually add the sugar. Continue beating until the sugar is all added, then finishby adding the vanilla.
- Pour the meringue over the lemon pie, and bake at 400 degrees for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
