In medium saucepan combine 1 cup sugar and cornstarch. Gradually stir in water until smooth. Stir in egg yolks. Stirring constantly, bring to boil over medium heat; boil 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in next 3 ingredients (the grated lemon peel, lemon juice and the margarine). Spoon hot filling into baked 9-inch pie crust. In small mixer bowl beat egg whites at high speed until foamy. Gradually beat in the 1/3 cup sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread evenly over filling; sealing to crust. Bake in 350 degree F (180 C) oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Cool on rack; refrigerate.
