Tips & Tricks
Let the filling cool completely before assembling the pie. Warm filling can make the dough soggy.
Chill the dough before rolling if it's too soft or sticky. It will be easier to handle and shape.
Brush the top crust with egg yolk for a shiny, golden-brown finish, or use plant milk for a vegan alternative.
