2 TBS. lemon juice
2 TBS. butter or margarine
1 Baked 9" pie shell, cooled
3 egg whites

Combine pie filling mix, 2/3 cup sugar and 1/4 cup of water in saucepan. Blend in egg yolks and remaining water. Cook and stir over medium heat, until mixture comes to a full bubbling boil. Remove from heat. Blend in lemon juice and butter. Cool 5 minutes, stirring twice. Pour into pie shell.
