Notes

Letting filling cool-

Why do you want to cool the mixture before adding it to the pie crust ?

Well, that is because you don't want to melt the butter or fat that is made up of your crust, you want the crust to be chilled when going into the oven to help maintain the structure of the crust and still be flaky.

This pie can be made ahead of time and brought over to loved ones' houses to be warmed up at holiday or parties.
