Tips:

  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • To prevent the edges of the pie crust from burning, brush them with milk or water before baking.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the crust is cooked through and the filling is set.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to firm up and the flavors to develop.
