For best results, use a stabilized meringue such as Swiss or Italian meringue for a longer-lasting and less weepy topping. Ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of any grease or oil when making the meringue, as this can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly. Keep a close eye on the pie while it bakes to prevent the meringue from burning. If it starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent it with foil.

StepIn a large bowl, beat together the confectioners' sugar and peanut butter with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. (3 minutes)
03
StepSpread the peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust. Ensure it reaches the edges. (2 minutes)
04
StepIn a small saucepan, whisk together the water, cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar until smooth. (1 minute)
05
StepBring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 15 seconds. Remove from heat and cover. (3 minutes)

07
StepAdd the cream of tartar and vanilla extract to the egg whites and continue beating until combined. (1 minute)

StepGradually add the 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, a tablespoon at a time, beating continuously until stiff, glossy peaks form. (5 minutes)
