Special Precautions and Tips:

• Make sure the butter is very cold when you cut it into the flour mixture. This will help create a flaky crust.
• Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
• Bake the pie in the center of the oven to ensure even baking.
• Let the pie cool completely before slicing to prevent the filling from running out.
