Lemon meringue pie

My family loves pie. My brothers always requested pie instead of cake for their birthday. Tart marionberry pies were always the favorite. My Mom makes delicious pies and I did too, until I became gluten free. I have yet to find a GF pie crust recipe I like, but I will persist because we like pie more than cake!
I had extra egg whites to make this lemon meringue pie because I had made an egg custard ice cream for James' father's birthday. This pie was so tasty, but the crust did not hold up well. It was very humid the day I made it and the crust became rather soggy. I made a GF pie crust last year that was delicious, but it was from a mix. I think adding almond flour makes a big difference in GF baking.
