Notes

To Par-Bake the Pie Shell

  • Heat oven to 375°F.
  • Fit the crust into the pie plate and crimp the edges, chill 10 minutes, then prick the bottom lightly with a fork. Line with parchment or foil and fill with pie weights or dry beans.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes; remove the weights and bake for 3–5 minutes more.
  • Cool for a few minutes, then turn the oven down to 325°F and proceed with the recipe.
