Put all ingredients into a blender and blend thoroughly. Pour into piecrust. Sprinkle with cinnamon if you wish. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 – 35 minutes or until set (middle will shake just slightly). Decorate pie with baked cut outs when first taken out of the oven. Cool on wire rack.

If you wish, brush on yellow food coloring and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Prick shapes with tip of fork. Place cut outs on a piece of foil and bake beside pie until golden brown. When pie is finished baking, gently press the baked shapes onto pie.
