For a richer flavor, brush the top crust with milk or cream and sprinkle with sugar before baking. Tapioca starch is crucial for thickening the filling. Don't skip it! If the crust starts to brown too quickly, tent it with foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking. For an extra touch, try adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the filling.
