• 11 ***you may want to set the pie on a foil-lined small cookie sheet to catch any drips if it happens to bubble over a bit. hot bubbly sugar can create a horrible mess and can really smoke! lol! best to prevent the fire department coming when the neighbors see smoke coming out the kitchen window! ;).
• 12 ***if you prefer, you can also use less cinnamon and vanilla -- but we really enjoy a wow kinda pie ourselves! ;).
• 13 enjoy! :).
