Tips & Variations

  • For a richer crust, try brushing the top with melted butter before baking.
  • Substitute Bisquick mix with your favorite homemade biscuit mix if desired.

Storage

Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual slices in the microwave or in a 350°F (175°C) oven until warmed through to preserve the crust’s texture.
