Tips:

  • For the perfect pie crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. This will create a flaky, tender crust.
  • Be sure to chill the pie dough before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • When filling the pie, don't overfill it. This will prevent the filling from bubbling over and making a mess.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking. This will help the crust brown evenly.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
