Notes
Use a store-bought pie crust, or make your favorite crust.
When the pie is baked, the edges will be set, but the middle will still be a little jiggly. Don’t bake it anymore. It will set up as it cools. Storage:
Wrap well with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
It may be frozen for up to 2 months.
