My Mom made this years ago just about every Sunday for our family dinner dessert.. We lost the recipe and I was lucky to find it again stuffed in her recipe box. Mom is 83 now and doesn't bake much, it's easier for her to visit a bakery!! Ingredients:
6 egg whites |
2 cups granulated sugar |
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
2 cups saltines, crackers. crushed |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
1 (20 ounce) can cherry pie filling |
2 (2 1/2 ounce) envelopes dream whip, prepared |
Directions:
1. Whip egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar till thick like meringue. Fold in the vanilla, crushed saltines and nuts. pat into the bottom of a 13/9 greased glass baking dish and bake at 350* for 25 minutes. Cool well.
2. When cold, top with the pie filling and Dream Whip.
3. Garnish with additional finely chopped walnuts if desired.
