A few notes:
For this dough recipe, you will need to let it sit in the fridge for one hour. Don’t forget!
When making the filling, keep a close eye on the saucepan. It should only take about 5-8 minutes, but, it will burn quickly. You will also want it to come to room temperature before adding to the pies.
