Hi Suanne,
A friend challenged me to bake a fruit pie (apple or blueberry – while I can still get some, my choice) and I was debating between preparing the crust from scratch or buy pre-made (since this will be my first time doing one). At first I was tempted to use the pre-made ones but, based on this post, it looks like making the crust from a pre-mixed pack (option #3) does not seem to be that hard! Geez, you are suddenly making it difficult for me!
Two questions about the last step:
a) Is it really necessary to pre-bake it?
b) I don’t think I see anything in the baking pans so I will assume you are not blind baking it, is that right?
Hi KimHo,
a) It is necessary to pre-bake the pie shell so that it would get too soggy when you fill it with fruits or other wet filings.
b) We did not blind bake those little pie shell. Blind baking (with weight) will help to prevent the bottom of the shell from puffing up too much and the sides from falling.
