I originally got this recipe from a co-worker over 30 years ago. It is a family favorite and I hope your family enjoys it as well.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 c ritz cracker crumbs
10 Tbsp butter, melted
4 egg whites
1 c sugar
1 large can (or 2 small cans) pie filling
1 9-ounce whipped topping

Steps:

  • 1. Combine Ritz Cracker crumbs and melted butter. Set aside 1/2 cup for topping. Spread the rest into the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch pan.
  • 2. Beat egg whites; gradually add sugar to make a stiff meringue. Spread over Ritz Cracker crumbs and bake at 320 degrees for 20 minutes. Let cool. Note: If meringue is uneven when cool, you can press it down with a spatula.
  • 3. Spread pie filling over meringue. Top with whipped topping and sprinkle with reserved crumbs on top. Refrigerate until served. This also freezes well.
  • 4. Note: My favorite pie filling for this recipe is blueberry, but any fruit filling will work for this recipe. Enjoy!
