Unfortunately, it needs to be baked before filling as you cannot bake it after the fact. If possible, try to salvage the filling in the pie and either make another batch of pastry dough, or pop another one from the store into the oven per the instructions.

Meringue topping adheres better when the lemon filling is still hot. If your lemon topping is cold when you apply the meringue, the two layers are more likely to separate after the pie is cooked and cooled.A different answer:Numerous recipes call for cooling the lemon filling BEFORE putting it into the pie crust, in which case it would be cool, but not chilled, when the meringue is applied.

In lemon meringue pie where does gelatinisation occur?
The gelatinisation of the lemon meringue pie filling is dependent on two main ingredients: The sugar, and the corn starch. Adding heat to both these elements, along with liquid (in the case of lemon meringue pie, water and lemon juice) creates a rapidly thickening substance. A word of warning: the heated coagulated filling is extremely hot and sticks to everything...be careful to not get this on you skin, as it will leave a nice burn. Additional info: Gelatinization actually does not require the presence of sugar. Any starch and water mixture will cause gelatinization when heated to the proper temperature. Sugar and acid will affect the thickness of the gelatinized starch mixture and the rate at which is gelatinizes when heat is applied. In a lemon meringue pie there will also be some gelatinization occurring in the crust when moisture from the filling mixes with the flour in the crust.

Do you bake the pie crust before filling a ham and cheese quiche?
Normally in a lemon meringue pie the pie crust is fully cooked, then the lemon curd filling is added, then the Italian meringue is piled on top. To finish, most recipes will say to either give the pie 2-5 minutes in a very hot oven (to give the meringue some colour/crispyness), or to lightly blowtorch the meringue. The rationale for fully cooking the pie crust is because the pie will either only briefly be baked again, or will be finished with a blowtorch ; cooking times are far to quick to make any difference to how cooked the crust is.
