Test Doneness

Give your pie a slight shake, the center should jiggle just a little. The pie is done, and will continue cooking and firm up after removed from the oven. If you arent certain, insert a knife blade in the center of your pie. It the blade comes out clean, the pie is ready to remove from the oven.
