- Remove the baked dough from the oven, pour the filling on top, and again in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the filling is solid.
- MERINGUE: beat 3 egg whites (100 grs, 3.5 oz) with 3/4 cup of sugar (180 grs, 6.3 oz) at bain-marie, then when the sugar crystals dissolve, continue beating away from the heat until obtaining a firm meringue. Add the meringue on top of the apple pie to finish.
