Update
They're done.. but two from back of oven has slightly darker tops.
Texture appears to be the same though.. Man I wish I had a convection
oven.. maybe someday..
Note that I over mixed the filling some.. so I got a rise and fall but
NO cracking.. This rise and fall leaves the ring around the edge..
Still tasty.. usually..
