Grandma's Recipes #9 - Apple Torte with Meringue Topping

This is another recipe that I don't remember ever having, but it's been clearly well-loved.  This is another one to come back to this fall.  Unfortunately, the bake time in the last instruction is really, really difficult to make out.  I think it's 20 minutes, but will gladly take input from others if they're able to make it out.  

2 c           flour

2 Tblsp    sugar

1 c           butter

Dash        salt

12            large apples sliced

1 c           sugar

1 tsp        cinnamon

2 regular or 1 large vanilla pudding

5 or 6       egg whites

1/2 c        sugar

Combine flour, 2 Tblsp sugar, butter, salt.  Spread in 9x13" pan.  Combine apples, 1 cup sugar, and cinnamon.  Put over crust.  Bake at 375 for 45 minutes.  Remove from oven.  Cook pudding following directions.  Pour over apples.  Beat egg whites into stiff peaks.  Add 1/2 c sugar, 1 teaspoon at a time.  Spread over pudding.  Return to oven.  Bake 20(?) minutes or until brown.
