Notes
Stir the ingredients in the bowl one last time before pouring into the pie crust because the sugar will settle to the bottom.
The pie will sort of bow up on the top when it's done baking. The top will be a golden brown.
Make sure you add the eggs to the bowl last. If you pour them into the hot brown butter it will cook the eggs.
If the edges of the pie are starting to get too brown before it's done cooking, you can place a pie shield on the edges. If you don't have one, you can make one out of aluminum foil. Just place it around the edges to keep it from burning.
If you want to make your own pie crust, here's a great recipe for homemade pie crust.
