rec.food.recipes/Barbara Lull (1995)

5 apples, cored and thinly sliced
3 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
pinch salt
1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 cup confectioners sugar (10x)
3 eggs (whites)
1 Quart Vanilla ice milk or ice cream

Arrange sliced apples in a 9-inch pie plate. Combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt. Sprinkle evenly over apples. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake in a 425 degree oven 30 minutes or until apples are just tender. Remove from oven, cool and refrigerate. This may be done ahead.

At serving time, cover chilled apples with an even layer of ice milk or ice cream and place in freezer.

Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until frothy. Gradually add 10x confectioners sugar, a Tablespoon at a time. Continue beating until mixture stands in peaks. Spread meringue over ice milk being sure to bring it to the edge of the pie plate. Place pie plate in a roasting pan surrounded with ice cubes to keep cool. Bake in a very hot oven, 500 degrees for 3 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned. Serve immediately.
