I've done that with almost every other pie I've baked up to now.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-69841711849321501452019-11-19T09:55:50.396+09:002019-11-19T09:55:50.396+09:00Crimping is your friend.

If you're really worried about separation, you can brush the lower crust with egg wash (or even water) before crimping.<br /><br />I think I blind-baked a pie shell once, and then never did it again. The only time I do this is for no-bake pies or tarts (those involving a custard or sabayon, etc.). But for a regular pie, I never blind-bake. Too much of a hassle, and I've achieved good results without it. I will be interested to hear what you think of the difference, though.Charleshttp://www.liminality.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-19686617860422416052019-11-19T07:39:21.037+09:002019-11-19T07:39:21.037+09:00The smaller pie is already dead, but I'll buy ...The smaller pie is already dead, but I'll buy some vanilla ice cream to go with the larger pie today.
