Footnotes

  • Tips:
  • Pie is done when center reaches 200 degrees F. Tap center surface of pie lightly – it should spring back when done. For easy clean up, spray pie pan with cooking spray. If pie crust is over browning, cover edges with foil.
  • High Altitude Adjustments:
  • Reduce sugar to 2/3 cup and increase butter to 3 tablespoons. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
  • *To reduce calories substitute Karo® Lite Syrup.
