-
Lightly grease a 9" pie pan that's at least 1 1/2" deep. Roll the pie
dough out to a 13" circle, and transfer to the pan.
Crimp the edges
above the rim; this will give you a little extra headroom to hold the
filling when it expands in the oven. Refrigerate the crust while the
oven preheats to 400°F.
-
When the oven is hot, place the pie pan on a baking. sheet to catch any
drips. Pour the flling into the unbaked pie shell.
-
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the filling is set 2" in from the edge.
The center should still be wobbly. Remove the pie from the oven and cool
on a rack; the center will finish cooking through as the pie sits.
