Recipe View 1 hrs Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to fully set. (60 minutes)

For a richer flavor, try using a blend of spices like nutmeg, ginger, and cloves in addition to cinnamon.
If your pie crust edges are browning too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield during the last 15 minutes of baking.
To check for doneness, gently shake the pie. It should be mostly set with a slight jiggle in the center.
Leftover pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cover it loosely with plastic wrap or foil.
