Tips
- To test for doneness, stick a tableknife into filling halfway between the center and side. If the knife comes out clean, the pie is done. If not, it needs more!
- Bake for 35 minutes, then cover with foil to prevent the crust from browning too much, and bake for another 15 minutes.
- It helps to stick your tongue out the side of your mouth or bite your lip while placing the full pie shells in the oven to avoid spilling or burning yourself.
