I like the sugar dark before adding water.
Melt 1 cup sugar in a heavy bottom sauce pan on medium heat. Heat until its light brown(I cook until its dark brown, but be careful because it burns easy.) add boiling water and cook for 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and cool. Mix the 1/3 cup dark brown sugar, flour, corn starch, and salt with the cold milk blend until smooth. Seperate eggs , the yolk for the milk mixture and the white for the meringue. Add caramel syrup and scalded milk to the smooth mixture. Heat over medium heat until thick. Temper the egg yolks with the hot mixture and add to remaining hot mixture and cook 3 to 4 minutes longer. Add butter and vanilla. I pour it in a pyrex bowl and put plastic wrap over it. Make meringue with 4 egg whites beaten while adding the 6 tablespoons sugar a little at a time, beat until stiff peaks form. Pour pie filling into the baked shell and top with the meringue. Bake in a 350 degree oven until golden brown. When I was young, my mother would make as a pudding only and my brother Don and I would eat the whole thing at one setting.
