INGREDIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS
Roll out the pie dough, place it in a 9-inch pie plate, gently fit it, and trim the edges. Preheat oven to 400°F. Refrigerate the pie plate and dough for 15-20 minutes while the oven heats up.
1
After preheating the oven, remove the pie plate from the fridge, decorate the edges, and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper or foil. Press pie weights against sides.
2
Bake with pie weights at 400°F for 15 minutes until crust edges lightly brown. After baking, carefully remove the parchment paper and pie weights.
3
Rebake the crust at 400°F for 6-8 minutes to dry the bottom. I avoid crust bottom forking. The crust rises and falls during baking. Apply the optional egg wash, fill with pie filling, and bake.
4
Optional: Mix 1 egg white and 1 tablespoon water. Use a little of the mixture to brush on the crust's bottom and sides, then return it to the oven for 2-3 minutes until the egg wash is shiny and dry.
