Notes
- You’ll know the pie is done baking when a thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 200°F and the center springs back when lightly touched.
- When completely cooled, wrap the leftovers in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store in the fridge for up to 4 days. May also be frozen, well wrapped in aluminum foil, for up to one month.
- To reheat, thaw (if frozen) overnight. Warm in a 300°F oven for 10-15 minutes if desired.
