Apple Pie with Meringue Cream

Description

This pie is a real find for those who don’t like overly sweet, rich cakes and desserts. The abundance of sugar in the meringue cream is balanced by a sugar-free apple filling and a not overly sweet dough. Sweet-and-sour apples pair well with the meringue cream, which covers them in a dense, tall layer. The pie is very easy to make and does not require significant expense.
