How did I manage to get such bad cracks?

I just took the bad boys in the first pic out of the oven and I’m at a loss on what went wrong. I used the Swiss method from Pies & Tacos which was also used in the second and third pics. My best guess is over-whipped meringue, but I would love some additional input.

I set my oven to 310°F which leaves my actual oven temp a tiny over 300°F. I used the middle oven rack in the first and third picture, and lowest rack in the second (ignore my filling issue lol).
