       Pie crust help?
       By: guest657 Date: November 21, 2018, 12:29 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I'm trying an improvement on our go-to pumpkin pie recipe:
       blind-baking the crust before filling.
       Can anyone advise me on adjusting the bake time for the filled
       pie?
       Do I need to reduce it? Go to the minimum and just keep
       checking? Go for the normal time and cover the edges?
       Is there a rule of thumb here? All my Google results are just
       getting me basic blind-baking instructions. Thanks!

       I would go with covering the edges and setting the timer for the
       minimum time then check and adjust, as needed.  I don't think
       you will need to reduce the time very much, if at all.  I would
       think the pie filling would be the limiting factor on how long
       the pie needs, regardless of whether or not the crust is raw or
       cooked.

       You were right about the main factor being the filling. For some
       reason, I had soooooo much filling, the 10 inch pie pan was full
       to the brim. It took forever to set, so I had to keep adding
       10-minute increments. But it looks gorgeous now!
