Lisa, you have to wait until it's completely cool to cover it, otherwise it gets soggy. If you've finished the pie late at night and you HAVE to go to bed (yes, been there, done that), wait as long as possible, to give it more time to cool (get ready for bed, brush your teeth, etc.); then find a large cover of some kind (the plastic top to a deli tray; a large bowl), and put it over the pie, but stick something under one corner of the cover to prop it up and let some air in; this will help evaporate any collecting moisture as the pie continues to cool. Good luck - PJH
