2.
Place the pie on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper to catch any spills. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 25 to 35 minutes. The pie will be bubbly and the crust will be lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
