how long to bake pie crust

The baking time for a pie crust can vary depending on the type of crust, the filling, and the oven temperature. Here are some general guidelines for baking a pie crust:

Pre-baked pie crust (without filling):

• 375°F (190°C):

  • 8-10 minutes for a single-crust pie
  • 12-15 minutes for a double-crust pie

• 400°F (200°C):

  • 6-8 minutes for a single-crust pie
  • 10-12 minutes for a double-crust pie

Pie crust with filling:

• 375°F (190°C):

  • 25-40 minutes for a single-crust pie (depending on the filling)
  • 40-60 minutes for a double-crust pie (depending on the filling)

• 400°F (200°C):

  • 20-35 minutes for a single-crust pie (depending on the filling)
  • 35-55 minutes for a double-crust pie (depending on the filling)

Blind baking (with weights or beans):

• 375°F (190°C):

  • 15-20 minutes for a single-crust pie
  • 25-30 minutes for a double-crust pie

• 400°F (200°C):

  • 12-18 minutes for a single-crust pie
  • 20-25 minutes for a double-crust pie

Tips:

• Keep an eye on the crust while it’s baking, as it can quickly go from golden brown to burnt.
• If you’re using a convection oven, reduce the baking time by 25%.
• If you’re baking a pie with a filling, make sure the filling is set and the crust is golden brown before removing it from the oven.

Remember, these are just general guidelines, and the baking time may vary depending on your specific pie and oven.
