This classic lemon meringue pie recipe yields a perfectly set filling and billowy meringue that won't weep--every single time! It's made 100% from scratch with just 10 ingredients.
Note that it’s topped with a SWISS meringue that I accidentally refer to as “Italian” (don’t ask me why, I’m very aware of the differences and prefer Swiss to Italian so I just don’t know where my brain was).
