Preheat oven to 180°C and blind bake pie crust 30 minutes. Remove beads and set tart shell aside. (If doing smaller tarts, check if pastry is cooked after 20 minutes.)

Dollop meringue mix onto pie, carefully covering all the filling mix. (This will prevent 'weeping' of the meringue...and you know I hate to make a meringue cry!)
- 11
Torch with a kitchen torch or place into an oven with a grill function for 10 minutes at 180°C. Keep an eye on this as you don't want burnt meringue!
