Dot with unsalted butter. Bake at 450°F for 15 minutes and turn down oven to 350°F for 45 minutes. Use tinfoil towards end of baking time to loosely cover pie to avoid overbrowned crust. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate. Serve with fresh whipped cream.

CHEF COMMENTS

This is probably one of the oldest and most simple recipes that I have. It was my great grandmother's and traditionally had native Texas Dewberries in it - but they are a tad bit difficult to find in the city. I have also substituted Mexican Vanilla for Bourbon Vanilla.
