Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh butter and eggs. Fresh ingredients make a big difference in the taste of your pie.
- Pre-bake the Crust: Pre-baking the pie crust for a few minutes before adding the filling helps keep it from getting soggy.
- Chill Before Serving: Let the pie chill in the fridge for at least a couple of hours before serving. This will help the filling set up nicely.
- Add Toppings: Feel free to get creative with toppings! Whipped cream, nuts, or even a drizzle of chocolate can take your pie to the next level.
