Mini Lemon Meringue Pie Bites

Lemon Meringue Pie is a classic. The tangy, citrus filling. The airy, sweet meringue. There's a lot to like. And as a beautiful, 9 inch pie, it can make a stunning appearance as dessert.

But it doesn't work so well for something like appetizers, or a small bites party. Are we left to go without when we want something small? I say no! With a little bit of ingenuity your favorite can be turned into something just as yummy, just as sweetly, tartly satisfying, and perhaps just a little bit more cute.
