Notes

  • Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. The flavor only gets better!
  • Freezing: You can freeze the unbaked pie for up to three months. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing.
  • Pairing: Serve warm slices with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a decadent treat.
  • Flavor variations: Experiment by adding a splash of almond extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon to the filling for an extra flavor kick.
  • Crust options: Try using a graham cracker crust for a different texture and flavor, or a lattice crust for an elegant finish.
