Step 5: Poke It in the Oven
It goes into the oven at 350F for 20mins. Then check it's not burning. The edges will cook faster, so as they brown up nice put tinfoil over for the rest of the time in the oven. It will need about 40mins total.
The first pic has nicely browned edges but a very raw centre, so i popped the tinfoil on.
The cooked pie should have a nice bump in the middle. When you stab it with a knife, it should come out clean.
