Cherry Meringue Pie

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!

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 6-8

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.
