Instructions
- To avoid messy spills in your oven, set pie plate on a baking sheet or pizza pan.
- For a prettier double-crust pie, brush the unbaked top with milk, water, or melted margarine or butter, then sprinkle lightly with sugar. Or brush the unbaked top lightly with a beaten egg or milk and skip the sugar.
- Store fruit pies at room temperature up to one day. Refrigerate for longer storage. Cover and refrigerate any pies that contain eggs or dairy products.
