If the pie filling is very liquid then the crust needs a slight precooking prior to filling and continue to bake (Pecan Pie). If the filling is to be refrigerated (Lemon Meringue or Chocolate Creme or Banana Creme) the crust must be entirely prebaked before filling.
To make a cheesecake with canned lemon pie filling, start by preparing a crust using crushed graham crackers mixed with melted butter and sugar. In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, and eggs until smooth, then fold in half of the lemon pie filling. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the crust, bake until set, and then let it cool. Finally, spread the remaining lemon pie filling on top before serving.
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.
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.
Your lemon meringue pie may be watery because the filling was not cooked long enough or the meringue was not properly sealed to the edges of the pie crust, allowing moisture to seep in.
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.
The lemon filling.
It depends upon the type of pie. For most fruit pies, the filling is poured into an unbaked pie shell. If the fruit pie has a baked topping, that is also added before the pie is baked. For cream pies, the pie shell is baked and cooled before being filled.
To cook lemon meringue pie in a halogen oven, first prepare your lemon filling and meringue as usual. Preheat the halogen oven to around 160°C (320°F). Pour the lemon filling into a pre-baked pie crust, then spread the meringue on top, ensuring it touches the edges to prevent shrinking. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the meringue is golden brown, monitoring closely to avoid over-browning.
Yes, lemon juice is typically added to lemon pie filling after the starch has thickened the water. This allows the lemon juice to retain its bright, fresh flavor, as cooking it for too long can diminish its tartness. By adding it at the end, the filling achieves the desired balance of sweetness and acidity.
