12 Essential Pie Crust Tips and Tricks

The mistake most people make when crimping pie crust is they don't tuck the dough under itself. This creates a thick, double-layer of dough so that it's easy for the crimp to hold its shape. Another tip is to make sure the pie crust is chilled. Simply pop it in the freezer for a few minutes once it's in the pie dish. Once it's ready to go, crimp the edge all around by firmly pressing the dough between the thumb and pointer finger of one hand and the thumb of your other hand. Return the pie crust to the freezer for another few minutes before baking so the pie crust sets.
