6 or 7 Golden Delicious apples, pared if desired
2 tsp. lime or lemon juice
1/4 c. flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. grated lime peel
Dash salt
1 (9 inch) unbaked pastry shell
2 tbsp. butter, melted
1/3 c. orange marmalade, melted
Meringue Kisses

Core and thinly slice apples to equal 7 cups; toss with lime or lemon juice. Combine flour, cinnamon, lime peel and salt; add to apples, tossing lightly. Arrange apples in pastry shell; drizzle butter evenly over top. Bake in hot oven (400 degrees) 35 minutes or until apples are tender and juice is bubbly around the edge. Spoon marmalade over hot apples. Cool completely. Garnish with Meringue Kisses just before serving. Extra Meringue Kisses may be passed. Makes 1 (9 inch) pie.

MERINGUE KISSES:

Beat together 2 egg whites, 1/2 teaspoon almond extract and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar; beat until stiff peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Drop meringue by spoonfuls or pipe with pastry tube on baking sheet lined with heavy paper. Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour; turn off heat and allow to dry in oven, with door closed, 1 hour. Remove from oven and cool thoroughly on rack. Makes about 12.

NOTE: Meringue Kisses may be prepared ahead of time; store in an airtight container.
