    Prevent Soggy Pie Crust

    Recipe




    Choose a glass pie plate or metal pie plate with a dull finish. If
    your pie pan is shinny, you might need to bake the crust a little
    while longer for more browning.

    For double-crust fruit pies, cut slits in the top crust to allow
    steam to get out. Escaping moisture will help prevent soggy crusts.

    Bake your pie in the lower third of the oven. This will allow the
    bottom crust to become crisp while the top shouldn't get overly
    browned.

    Brush beaten egg white or whole egg onto the sides and bottom of pie
    shells (for single crust pies)….
    >>>>>First, place the pastry in a pie plate and prick the bottom and
    sides with a fork to prevent it from bubbling as it bakes. Then
    line the pie shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake
    at 450° for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5-6 minutes longer or until
    dry and crisp. Finally, brush the bottom and sides of the crust with
    egg, then reheat at 400° for 4 minutes to set the glaze. Add filling.
