- 1 1/2 cups sugar

- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

- Pour into the partially blind baked pie shell. Place foil around edges to prevent over browning.
- Place pie in oven and immediately reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees. Bake pie for 15 minutes and reduce heat to 300 degrees. Continue baking for approximately 25 to 30 minutes or until pie is barely jiggly in the center when gently shaken. Filling will puff up slightly while baking but will deflate when removed from oven.
Notes
- To see more about partially blind baking the pie shell, see my notes above this recipe.
- Baking times will vary. My pie baked for an additional 30 minutes, after reducing the temperature to 300 degrees.
- The fresher the eggs, the longer the baking time.
