Notes
NOTE: To dot with butter, just slice off thin slices of butter and place about 6 or 8 in bottom of pie shell.NOTE: Mom didn’t fill her pies as full as I do for a deep dish pie plate. So her pies baked more quickly than mine.NOTE: I used this recipe for Homemade Pie Crust, but you can substitute a store-bought pie crust if desired.NOTE:Preparation time does not include time necessary to roll out pie crust for this recipe.
