- Cool the Pie: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Cooling the pie helps it set and makes it easier to slice once refrigerated. Let it rest for at least two hours before serving, or refrigerate it to chill further. This step helps the flavors to develop and gives the filling a firm texture.
- Serve: Once the pie has cooled and set, serve it with a dollop of whipped cream on top. The creamy whipped topping complements the rich, spiced filling perfectly, adding a light, airy contrast to the dense pie.
Notes:
- Storage: Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to 3 days. Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor.
- Serving Ideas: For an extra special touch, you can top the pie with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg, or even serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.
- Pie Crust: If you don’t have a deep-dish pie crust, you can use a standard pie crust. Just be aware that the filling may overflow slightly, so it’s recommended to place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
