1 tbsp cornstarch

1/2 cup boiling water

6 tbsp sugar

Pinch salt

2 tbsp cold water

3 egg whites

1 tsp vanilla

Blend cornstarch and cold water in saucepan.

Add boiling water and cook, stirring until clear and thickened.

Let stand until completely cold.

With electric beater at high speed, beat egg whites until foamy.

Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff, but not dry.

Turn mixer to low speed, add salt and vanilla.

Gradually add cold cornstarch mixture.

Turn mixer again to high speed and beat well.

Spread meringue over cooled pie filling.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.

Cuts beautifully and never gets sticky.
