Directions:
Mix crust ingredients together and press in bottom of 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 350º for 20 minutes. Then in a medium saucepan mix filling ingredients and cook over medium heat until it starts to thicken. When its thickened like pudding add the drained pinapple to it and pour over the crust. Cover this with the meringue mixture. Then put in oven till the white meringue starts to brown on top a little, about 10-15 minutes.
When making the meringue you have to mix your powdered sugar and cornstarch together and gradually add one spoonfull at a time as you beat each egg white and keep adding egg whites and beating on high. Beat all till stiff peaks form. Take your beater and pull up and if peak stays standing its ready.

Personal Notes:
Grandma Brenner always made this and so did my mom. It is so good and worth trying to make meringue. If you like rhubarb you will love this pudding dessert.
