  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to do so on a lightly floured surface. This will prevent the dough from sticking.
  • If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a 9-inch springform pan. Just be sure to line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
  • Before baking the pie, be sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes. This will help the crust to set and prevent it from shrinking.
