09 - 10 ounces sweetened condensed milk
10 - 4 to 5 ounces salted caramel sauce

07 - Return pie to oven and bake for 25 minutes, until center is set and edges are gently bubbling. Check during the final 10 minutes to prevent excessive browning.
08 - Remove pie from oven. Place dish on a wire rack to begin cooling.
