4
Line the crust with parchment paper or foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans to prevent puffing or slumping.
5
Bake until the edges of the crust are very lightly golden, 18 to ⏱️ 22 minutes.
6
Remove the pie weights and parchment paper. Use a fork to prick holes in the bottom of the crust.
7
Return the crust to the oven and bake until it is set, dry, and very lightly golden, 5 to ⏱️ 7 minutes more.
8
If your pie recipe calls for baking the filling, you can add the filling to the partially-baked crust and continue with your recipe. If you are using a no-bake filling, return the crust to the oven after removing the pie weights and bake through until golden brown, 12 to ⏱️ 15 minutes more. Let cool to room temperature.
