Directions:
In a small sauce pan mix together boiling water and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Cook and stir constantly until clear and thick; set aside to cool. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and peanut butter to resemble coarse crumbs; set aside. In a saucepan stir together 1/2 cup sugar, remaining cornstarch, flour, and salt. Separate eggs, placing whites in a separate bowl; set aside to warm to room temperature. Add egg yolks and milk to sugar mixture; whisk until combined. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Sprinkle 1/3 peanut butter mixture over pie crust bottom; layer 1/2 the batter over crumbs. Sprinkle another 1/3 peanut butter mix over batter and top with remaining batters; set aside. Add cornstarch mixture and cream of tartar to egg whites; beat until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle remaining sugar over mix until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue over pie being sure to touch edges of crust to seal. Sprinkle remaining 1/3 peanut butter crumbs on top of top edge of pie. Bake at 375° for 8 -10 minutes or until meringue is golden. Cool completely before serving.
