7. Assemble the Pie
Line a 9-inch pie dish with one pie crust. Pour the warm brisket mixture into the crust and spread it evenly.
Cover the filling with the second crust. Seal and crimp the edges, then cut several small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
8. Bake
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the crust is beautifully golden and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
9. Let It Rest & Serve
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. This gives the creamy filling time to settle, making the pie easier to cut and serve.
Pro Tip
For an extra-glossy, golden crust, brush the top with a beaten egg before placing the pie in the oven. You can also sprinkle a little shredded cheese or sliced jalapeño over the crust for an extra-special finish.
