HOW TO STORE PECAN PIE FILLING

What is “blind” baking?

Blind baking is a process of baking a pie crust without filling. The “pie weights” help keep the pie dough flat. Click here for my favorite pie crust recipe→PERFECT EVERY TIME 10 MINUTE PIE CRUST

Place the bottom crust into the pie pan and crimp edges.

Line with parchment paper—add pie weights, dried beans or rice.

Half way through the baking process take out the weights and parchment paper. Bake until light and crispy.
