  Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or until pie crust is lightly browned. Take small piece of aluminum foil and wrap the edges of the pie crust to prevent it from getting too dark. (be careful as pie is still runny and is hot). Put back in oven and cook until pie is set or until a knife inserted into center of the pie comes out clean, about 20 more minutes.
