Apple Meringue Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. tart green apples, peeled and cored, thickly sliced
  • 2 Tbs. honey
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 3 Tbs. Drambuie (or any other assertively-flavored liqueur you like)
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
  • 2 Tbs. sugar
  • 1 eight-inch baked pie shell

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook apples with honey and 1 Tbs. water in a covered saucepan over medium-low heat until they're soft but still hold their shape.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, beat egg yolks with Drambuie and cinnamon. Add a few hot apple slices to the mixture, stirring it around a bit. Then add the entire mixture to the remaining apples in the pan. Cook one or two minutes over medium-low heat until it thickens. Do not let it curdle. Cool.

  3. 3

    Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Add sugar gradually and continue beating until stiff.

  4. 4

    Place cooled apples in pie shell. Cover completely with meringue. Bake in a preheated 450-degree oven until meringue browns (only a minute or two). Serve warm.
