As much as you like. Bake at 400 for 15 minutes. Then 350 for about 35 minutes. My pie didn't ever run over, but just in case, you might want to place a sheet of foil underneath on the rack below during the last 5 minutes. Will save your oven and prevent the smoke detectors from going off! LOL! (Been there had that happen many times with other pies!!) Let cool. Serve rewarmed if preferred with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping. Can sit on the kitchen counter, covered, or refrigerate. I popped it in the fridge the second day, but could have after it cooled the whole time. It didn't wreck the crust. And it was HEAVEN...definately going to have to make another SOON!!
