Orange Meringue Pie

This orange meringue pie is a refreshing change from lemon meringue.

Use a prebaked pie shell for the pie. This food processor crust is a good choice, or use a frozen crust or refrigerated pastry sheets. Follow the directions on the package for prebaking the crust.

Top the pie with a whipped cream topping if you prefer.
