SUGAR FREE LEMON MERINGUE PIE
I have taken this pie to many parties and functions. Unless asked, I don't let anyone know it's sugar free and they love it anyway. I got this from a cookbook of diabetic recipes which I lent to a co-worker and she never gave it back before she moved. I found the recipe again on the Equal website. (Whoops, forgot to put the word BAKED after the pie crust. It would be a little gross if the crust was raw. lol)!

Tips:
- Choose Fresh Lemons: For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice. Store-bought lemon juice often contains preservatives and additives that can alter the taste of the pie.
- Use a Deep-Dish Pie Plate: A deep-dish pie plate will help to prevent the meringue from overflowing. If you don't have a deep-dish pie plate, you can use a regular pie plate and trim the edges of the pastry dough so that it is even with the rim.
- Chill the Pie Crust Before Baking: Chilling the pie crust before baking will help to prevent it from shrinking and becoming tough. You can chill the pie crust for up to 30 minutes before baking.
- Don't Overbeat the Meringue: Overbeaten meringue will be difficult to spread and will not hold its shape well. Beat the meringue until it is stiff peaks form, but not so stiff that it becomes grainy.
- Use a Kitchen Torch to Brown the Meringue: If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can brown the meringue by placing the pie under the broiler for a few minutes. Be careful not to burn the meringue.
