FAQs
Blind-bake the crust before adding the filling and make sure your filling isn’t too watery. A light egg wash can also help create a barrier.
Use a pie shield or wrap the edges with foil halfway through baking. This keeps the crust golden while the filling finishes cooking.
Pie crust shrinks when the dough warms up too quickly or isn’t chilled long enough. Let it rest in the fridge before baking and avoid stretching the dough into the pan.
