I've always heard that meringue will weep if it's not sealed at the edges of the pie...in other words, make sure it touches the crust all around so there are no gaps between the rim of the pie and the meringue. I've always done that and don't get weepy meringue.

I've never had one fall but they ALWAYS weep no matter how good I seal it, cook it, beat it or what recipe I use!

Brown in oven as usual.
