Help ! If I put my egg white/meringue topping on my lemon m pie but don't cook it for couple hours will it survive or go all weepy on me?

I would wait until you are ready to cook it, then beat the egg whites...
Or, if you don't have time for that, beat, then put aside, and only top on the lemon merginue as it goes into the oven...
Q: why can't you cook it in advance?

Thanks duckmoon I thought that might happen, better whack it in the oven afterall.

I made an amazing pie last night. Flour, ground almonds, lemon rind, butter and yolks in the pastry. Apple 1/4's poached with the juice and some sugar then laid on the pre-baked shell and the whites in a meringue top over it all. Back in the oven to brown, looked and tasted amazing BUT the meringue wept heaps all over the place. What did I do wrong? Grateful for any help.
