How to make a meringue topping for pie? 1. Place the egg whites, cream of tartar, and vanilla in a glass or metal bowl. 2. Slowly add sugar while beating. 3. Immediately spread meringue over hot pie filling, carefully sealing to edge of pastry to prevent shrinkage. 4. Make swirls in the topping. 5.
