If using the Sour Cream Topping:
Spread the mixture on the pie during the last 10 min of cooking time. 

Special Tips or Information:
Put a foil ring around the edge of the crust to prevent over browning.  Remove the last 15 minutes of baking.  Can use a store bought ring or make your own out of tin foil.

If baking in a tin pan, place on a cookie sheet to prevent the pie from bending and splitting the top when removing from the oven.
