How do you prevent the bottom crust of a pie from becoming soggy?
Here are several tips that may help:
- use a somewhat drier dough than usual
- coat the unbaked bottom crust with egg white and partially bake it before pouring the filling in
- chill dough for 1 hour before adding the filling
- partially or completely thicken fillings (fruit or cream) before pouring into crust
- use a tested recipe
- bake the pie in a preheated oven as soon as it is filled
- bake in a hot oven (450 degrees F) for the first 15 minutes
