Step 11: Using a sharp knife, cut several vents in the top crust.
Step 12: Place pie plate on a baking or cookie sheet and bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes.
Step 13: Watch the crust on the pie that it doesn't brown too much--cover with foil or a crust guard if necessary.
Step 14: Cool pie thoroughly on a wire rack before serving.
