The Perfect Pie (Continued

l Mind your pecans. Pecan pies are essentially custards and should be baked in a low-temperature oven.

The ratio of eggs to sugars and/or corn syrup to butter determines moisture and chewiness. Crunchiness is obtained by using an abundance of pecans so some of them will peak out of the custard and bake to a crisp state.

l Pay close attention to baking times. Your pie filling should bubble slightly and the center of your pie should no longer tremble when you move your pie plate back and forth.

l Stay cool. Heed the cooling time indicated in your specific recipe. You can serve an apple pie soon after it’s baked, but pumpkin or pecan pies must be cooled.
