Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it’s heating, I like to prepare my pie crust. If you’re using a frozen pie crust, ensure it’s thawed and ready to go. I usually place it in the pie pan, trimming any excess crust hanging over the edges. The sturdiness of the pie crust provides a lovely base for all the delicious fillings to come. Trust me, the smell of that crust baking is pure bliss! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
