Apricot Meringue Pie image

My sister-in-law wanted to create an apricot pie recipe, so we experimented until we came up a combination of ingredients we liked. The meringue sits nice and high, while the sweet apricots retain a little of their chewy texture. It's yummy! -Olive Rumage, Jacksboro, Texas
