Ingredients

Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to create a circle. Carefully transfer to a 9-inch pie plate, then tuck the excess dough underneath the edges of pie dough. Flute the edges with two fingers or crimp with the tines of a fork. Refrigerate until ready to fill.

Transfer to a wire rack, then allow to cool before slicing. Top with homemade whipped cream. Can be enjoyed cold, room temperature, or warm, but unless you want a soft filling, don’t skip the wait time.

Cool, then serve

6

Place heavy cream in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment. With the mixer running on medium speed, add confectioner’s sugar and vanilla extract. Continue whisking until soft peaks form. Whipped cream should be used immediately or transferred to a storage container.
