This pie was a bit of a disappointment. The crust was dry and the filling was bland. The meringue was the only thing that saved it. I will not be making this pie again.

I really liked this strawberry meringue pie. It was easy to make and it turned out beautifully. The only thing I would change is to use a different type of crust. I used a graham cracker crust, but I think a pastry crust would be better.
