Tips:

  • When making the pie crust, be sure to use cold butter and ice water. This will help to create a flaky crust.
  • Don't overmix the pie dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the pie. This will help to ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
  • If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the filling from running out.
