  • 4. Test your pie after about 50 minutes with a thermometer it should be at 200 degrees in the center of your pie. I love doing this, makes you feel confident that your pie is done and not under or over cooked.

Tips:

  • If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a 9-inch springform pan.
  • To prevent the pie crust from getting soggy, pre-bake it for 10-12 minutes before filling it.
