Special Precautions and Tips:
- Make sure to use cold butter for cutting in, as this helps create a flaky crust.
- Do not overbake, as the pie should be slightly underdone in the center when removed from the oven. It will continue to set as it cools.
- This pie is quite rich, so consider serving it with a lighter meal or offering smaller slices to avoid overindulging.
