Woman shows how to make lemon meringue pie in the slow cooker and it couldn’t be easier

Testing the theory, a savvy home cook has shown how she makes delicious lemon meringue pie using the popular appliance and it couldn't be easier to do.
The Aussie cook shared snaps of her creation in the Facebook group and revealed the simple recipe and cooking method.
She wrote: "Lemon curd in the slow cooker today - so tasty and so easy to make," before detailing the five ingredients she used to make up the filling.
To whip it up she used lemon zest, lemon juice, eggs, butter and sugar and combined them together before placing in the slow cooker to cook for 90 minutes.
Once the butter melted she said that she turned the kitchen gadget on low and stirred every 15 minutes for the until it reached the right consistency.
Once it was ready, she scooped the lemon mixture into pre-made tart shells bought from her local supermarket and topped it with meringue she'd whipped herself.
Impressed by the simple method, one group member wrote: "Oh wow! Thanks for this recipe. I'm going to give it a go!"
And another said: "Great for a snack and the kids would love these."
Other home cooks said that they prefer using slow cookers to prepare a range of desserts at home because there's less chance of burning the food - who knew?
In the past, people have also tried their hand at making banana bread, shortbread and even a tasty chocolate orange cake in the slow cooker - all typically cooked in the oven.
