Meringue

1. In bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until in a stiff froth. Beat in sugar gradually, until stiff and sugar is dissolved.

2. To finish, spread meringue over pie, right to edge of crust. Sprinkle reserved crumb mixture over top. Bake in 350F (180C) oven until golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven; set on rack on counter to cool and set for at least 2 to 3 hours.
