Notes
Recipe Note:
If you read the comment section below, many people have had trouble with the crust becoming soggy. Personally, I didn’t have any problems with my crust but I’ll try to offer a few suggestions. First, make sure you use an 8-inch pie plate. I used a Pyrex pie plate. Try adding an extra 1/3 cup cracker crumbs and the recipes calls for a half a stick of butter which is 4 tablespoons. Please use real butter. Margarine contains a lot of water. Gently pat the sautéed onions with paper towels before adding them to the crust. Bake pie on the bottom rack of your oven. Bake an extra 15 to 20 minutes and crust is a deep golden brown. I hope these tips help you out because this pie is so worth it:) Let me know.
