Orange Meringue Pie

If you love lemon meringue pie, you'll adore this orange meringue pie. If you're not a fan of the meringue topping, you can replace that with a whipped topping and it's just as good!

You can use either a store bought or homemade pie crust and bake in a 9" pie plate.


Ingredients for Orange Filling

5 tbsp. flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup warm water
1/2 cup concentrated orange juice
3 egg yolks
1 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. orange extract
2 tbsp. grated orange peel

Ingredients for Meringue

4 egg whites
7 tbsp. sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Directions for Orange Filling

Using a saucepan, combine sugar, flour, water and orange juice concentrate. Cook on low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and begins to boil. Beat egg yolks. Add a little of the hot orange mixture into the egg yolks.

Now gradually add egg yolks into mixture, again stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add butter, orange extract and orange peel. Let cool. Pour into baked pie crust.

Directions for Meringue

Beat egg whites until light and frothy. Add cream of tartar and continue beating until stiff. Add sugar gradually and continue beating until stiff and glossy. Spoon meringue over pie, making sure that you cover right over the crust's edge to seal the filling in.

Bake pie at 325° for 15 to 18 minutes, until meringue is golden brown. For added flavor and a decorative touch, garnish with flambar oranges in grand marnier.
