Pour the lemon filling into the pre-baked pie crust.
In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Spread the meringue over the lemon filling, making sure to seal the edges.
Bake the pie for 10-12 minutes until the meringue is lightly golden. Let the pie cool to room temperature before serving.
