This is so yummy! Beautiful for festive holidays or just because! The whole family will love this! It's simple to make using canned pie filling, and a make-ahead pie crust. Gotta try this! Ingredients:
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling |
3 egg whites |
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar |
6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar |
1/4 teaspoon almond extract |
1 pastry shells, baked (9-inch) |
1/4 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, heat pie filling on low. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form.
2. Remove pie filling from the heat; stir in extract. Pour into pastry shell. Spread meringue over hot filling, sealing edges to crust. Sprinkle with walnuts.
3. Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes or until meringue is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Chill for at least 3 hours before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.
