Add Water: Carefully add water to the caramelized sugar, stirring until well combined.
Prepare Butterscotch Mixture: Melt brown sugar and butter together, then add the mixture to the caramelized sugar, stirring until smooth and fully incorporated.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In the top of a double boiler, combine cornstarch, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
Prepare Filling: Add beaten egg yolks and evaporated milk to the dry ingredient mixture in the double boiler. Slowly pour in the caramelized sugar mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Thicken Filling: Cook the mixture in the double boiler over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
Add Vanilla: Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Assemble Pie: Pour the butterscotch filling into a pre-baked pie shell, spreading it evenly.
Prepare Meringue: In a separate bowl, beat egg whites and salt at high speed until frothy. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
Top Pie: Spread the meringue over the pie filling, making sure to completely seal the edges of the crust to prevent any leakage.
Bake: Place the pie in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven and bake until the meringue is lightly browned, about 10-15 minutes.
Serve: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool before slicing and serving. Enjoy the rich flavors and creamy texture of this irresistible Butterscotch Pie!

Tips:

Be attentive when caramelizing the sugar to avoid burning.
Ensure the pie filling is completely cooled before adding the meringue to prevent it from melting.
For extra flair, sprinkle some additional brown sugar on top of the meringue before baking for a caramelized finish.
Serve slices of this Butterscotch Pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.
