Can you put a meringue into a pie dish to cook?

Yes, you can put a meringue into a pie dish to cook, typically as a topping for pies like lemon meringue. It's important to spread the meringue evenly to prevent shrinking and to ensure it properly cooks. Bake it at a low temperature until it's lightly browned and set. Just be sure to add the meringue to the pie filling while it’s still hot for the best results.
