Description:  A brief tutorial on how to blind bake a pie crust.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 frozen pie crust
  • Aluminum foil
  • Fork
  • Granulated sugar
  • Cookie Sheet

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF.  While the oven is heating, keep your pie crust in the freezer. 
  2. Prep the Pie Crust. Set frozen pie crust on the cookie sheet.  Use a fork to prick holes across the fork. Line the frozen pie shell with aluminum foil.  Place the pie weights on top of the aluminum foil.  Make sure to fill the crust all the way to the top.  
  3. Bake.  20 to 25 minutes for pie recipes that required parbaking.  For crusts that need to be completely baked, bake for 20 to 25 minutes, then remove the pie weights and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
