Preheat the oven to 350°F.

4

Stir the mixture gently until combined.

Pour the filling into a 9-inch unbaked or frozen deep dish pie crust.

7

Spray the pie pan with cooking spray for easy clean up.

Place the pie on a cookie sheet to catch spills.

Place the pie on the center rack of the oven.

If the pie crust is over-browning, cover the edges with foil.

The pie is done when the center reaches 200°F and springs back when tapped lightly.

Let the pie cool on a wire rack for 2 hours before serving.

If cooking at high altitude, reduce sugar to 2/3 cup and increase butter to 3 tbsp, and reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
