For a richer flavor, consider adding 1-2 tablespoons of brandy or dark rum to the filling after cooking. The filling can be made several days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you're using homemade pie crust, ensure it is chilled before filling and baking to prevent shrinking. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
