| 5 | Pour the mixture over the prepared crust in the pan. |
| 6 | Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, shielding with foil the last 5 minutes, if necessary, to prevent excessive browning. |
| 7 | Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack. |
| 8 | Once cooled, cut into 1 1/2 x 1-inch bars. |
| 9 | Yield: Approximately 4 1/2 dozen finger pies. |
