Why did my lemon bars burn?

Why did my lemon bars crust on top?

Higher heat can cause the filling to curdle before it cooks through or leave you with a burnt crust. Cook the bars for around 25 to 30 minutes and inspect them regularly. If the filling is too runny, give the dish more time to cook. Look out for golden edges and a center that is slightly wobbly but not runny.
