Notes

  • Use a Pre-Made Pie Crust: This saves time and makes the recipe even easier. However, you can use homemade crust if you prefer.
  • Don’t Overbake: The pie should be set but still slightly soft in the center. Overbaking can result in a dry pie.
  • Cool the Pie Completely: Let the pie cool to room temperature before cutting. This helps the filling set perfectly.
  • Add a Dollop of Whipped Cream: For extra flavor, top the pie with fresh whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
