Notes
Pie actually improves after 24 hours as flavors meld together.
Store covered in refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Avoid overbaking to prevent curdled filling.
Use high-quality honey for best flavor results.
Flaky sea salt like Maldon works better than table salt.
Can substitute maple syrup for honey if needed, though flavor will differ.
