Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that warmth fills my kitchen, I like to prepare my unbaked pie crust by gently fitting it into a 9-inch pie pan. Remember to crimp the edges for a more finished look! Once the crust is ready, grab a mixing bowl and start combining the light brown sugar and the granulated sugar. Whisk those together until they are well blended. Then, I add the eggs, combining them until the mixture is smooth and creamy. The sweetness of the sugar blend blooms as you mix!
