"They hardly make deep dish pie plates anymore. Finding the Le Crueset was terrific. It is a great size, well glazed and cleaned easily." David

Cooking Tips

Tip:


  • This pie is great topped with either meringue or fresh whipped cream. I prefer the whipped cream but if you like meringue, it is a great way to use up the egg whites left over from the yolks in the recipe. Whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Spoon over the completed pie, then bake at 350º degrees for 12-15 minutes.
