To prevent your lemon meringue filling from becoming watery, ensure that you cook the filling adequately until it thickens and reaches a temperature of at least 170°F (77°C). Using cornstarch as a thickening agent can also help stabilize the filling. Additionally, allow the filling to cool slightly before adding the meringue, and avoid overbaking the meringue to maintain the filling's integrity. Lastly, serve the pie shortly after assembling to prevent moisture buildup.
