📝 Preparation Steps
1
To Blind Bake the Pie Crust
2
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Make my pie crust according to the recipe.
3
On a floured surface, roll out the pie crust to a ¼ inch (6 mm) thick circle and line a 9-inch (23 cm) pie tin with it.
4
Crimp and egg wash the edges, then line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights.

Bake for ⏱️ 15 minutes, then lift out the parchment and weights, lower the heat to 350°F (180°C) and bake until the bottom is done and the edges are golden, about another ⏱️ 10 minutes. Let cool. (For more info about blind baking click here)
