- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 egg whites
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare the pie crust in a dish and poke holes to prevent bubbling.

- In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add cream of tartar and sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Spread meringue over the hot filling, sealing edges to avoid shrinking.
