This is an incredibly delicious and easy pie since you only have to do the bottom crust, I used the Land O Lakes recipe for the crust which was simple to make. It's got that great crunchy topping and is amazing with vanilla ice cream. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect, I would highly recommend.
How should this recipe be stored? I'd like to make it two-days before Thanksgiving and then take it to my family's house for the holiday. Should I store this in the refrigerator after baking it?
I've been making this for years....it's a great pie recipe. You won't be disappointed!
