Recipe Notes

-Use a 9 inch shallow pie plate for this recipe. Do not use a deep dish pie plate. -If you would like to add nuts, add 1 cup of roughly chopped nuts to the batter with the flour and reduce the cooking time to 35 minutes. -I highly suggest baking on the bottom rack of the oven (not the bottom of the oven, the bottom rack). Place the rack on the lowest shelf setting of the oven. This will insure the bottom crust is cooked without the top of the pie getting overcooked.
