For the best meringue, make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of grease. To prevent the meringue from weeping, ensure it is properly sealed to the crust and bake until it's a light golden brown. If you don't have a pre-baked pie crust, you can use a store-bought graham cracker crust for a simpler alternative.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large saucepan, whisk together 1 cup of sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir in the crushed pineapple with its juice until well combined. (2 minutes)
03
StepBring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens. This should take about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
04
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually drizzle in about 1/2 cup of the hot pineapple mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper them. (2 minutes)
05
StepPour the tempered yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining pineapple mixture. Return to medium heat and cook, stirring continuously, for another 2 minutes, until the filling is thick and glossy. (2 minutes)
06
StepRemove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice. Set aside and keep warm while you prepare the meringue. (1 minute)
07
StepIn a clean, dry glass or metal bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating.
08
StepGradually add the 6 tablespoons of sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed until the meringue forms stiff, glossy peaks. (5 minutes)
09
StepPour the hot pineapple filling into the pre-baked pastry shell. Immediately spread the meringue over the filling, making sure to seal it to the edges of the crust to prevent shrinking. (3 minutes)
10
StepBake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown. (15 minutes)
11
StepRemove from the oven and let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour. Then, refrigerate for at least 3 hours before slicing and serving. (180+ minutes)
