MRS. SMITH'S^® Baking Tips and Tricks

Place pie on a baking sheet to allow the crust to bake more evenly.
Keep an eye on your pie while it is baking; if the outer crust is browning too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil.
For a shinier, crispier crust, beat an egg and apply with a pastry brush to the top crust before baking.

Allow to cool at room temperature for about an hour.
Gently smooth a thin layer of your favorite chocolate-hazelnut spread (Nutella works well) to the top of the pie. If the spread is too firm, microwave for 10 second intervals and stir until it is easier to spread.
Allow the pie to finish cooling as desired. When ready to serve, garnish with rosettes of Whipped Cream and either fresh or jarred Bing cherries.
