Apple Lemon Meringue Pie
This Apple Lemon Meringue Pie is a delicious alternative to the ever popular Lemon Meringue. Fall flavors with still a hint of Summer !
Apple Meringue Pie is a delicious alternative to the usual Lemon Meringue which I normally make. The taste is very similar but with the added apple there is also a crunch to this pie.
Most apple pies are almost always a hit as a dessert. This pie is sweet with just a tiny break in the sweetness when you bite into the apple. And a little tartness from the Lemon.
If you prefer a tarter pie, add a teaspoon of finely grated lemon zest to the filling !
I like a fairly thick crust especially when it is made of Tennis biscuits. South-African readers – have you seen there will be Tennis Biscuit Crumbs out soon? I have not found it at my local supermarkets yet, but it might be available at the bigger Hyper Markets. What a convenience that’s going to be!

I'm intrigued with this recipe. Apple isn't something you associate with meringue, but you made it look good. Thank you so much for sharing with Saturday Spotlight last week. I hope you come by today to share more of your awesome creations!
