Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven warms up, prepare your pie crust. If you’re using a store-bought one, just place it in the pie dish and press it down gently. For homemade, roll it out and fit it in nicely. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk away until it’s smooth and combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract. The mixture should be glossy and inviting. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
