Notes
TIP: If the butter is still hot, either mix the ingredients before adding the butter, or pour it away from the eggs, as it can cook the eggs a little bit.
TIP: To avoid cracking the pie, cook it on a cookie sheet, and do not move it after taking it out of the oven. The pie might still crack as it cools, however.
For this recipe, you can use a frozen crust (thawed), a refrigerated pie crust, or your own homemade pie crust.
If the edges of the crust get too brown while baking, place a pie crust shield over the edges.
