Step 5

Bake 45 to 50 minutes, or until set. Cool.

Chef's Tip


For a bottom crust that's nicely browned, use a glass or dull metal pie plate. The shinier the pie plate, the longer the crust takes to bake and the more likely the bottom pastry crust will be soggy.

To make Walnut Pie or Almond Pie, substitute walnut halves or whole toasted almonds for pecans.
