Top with meringue and brown in the oven. Meringue Topping: Beat egg whites till light and frothy. Add in the 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar and continue beating till the whites are stiff sufficient to hold a peak. Gradually beat in 6 Tbsp. sugar and beat till the meringue is stiff and glossy. Pile the meringue lightly on cooled pie filling, spreading it till it touches the edges of the pastry to prevent the meringue shrinking. Bake in a preheated warm oven
