Recommended Equipment
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F and line the prepared pie crust with a 15-inch sheet of aluminum foil (leave some overhang so it will be easy to remove the pie weights later) and fill the pie with pie weights (or dry beans). The weights will keep the pie shell from bubbling up as it bakes. Bake it with the weights for about 15 minutes and then remove the pie weights and paper or foil. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and bake for 8 minutes longer or until dry and just beginning to show browning. Cool on a rack and increase the oven temperature to 400°F.1 9-inch pie shell
