Sprinkle 1/2 C sugar in a heavy skillet; place over medium heat. Cook,

T at a time, beating until stiff peaks form.
Spread meringue over hot filling, sealing to edge of pastry. Bake at
400 F for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely
Di Note: Good pie for Thanksgiving - very rich-all the guests will head
