Remove from the oven and let the pie cool completely at room temperature before serving. This allows the filling to fully set. (60 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of melted butter.
If the pie crust edges begin to brown too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield.
The pie is best served the same day it's baked, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
