  3. Make prick marks with a fork along the bottom. Place the crust in the freezer for 5 minutes.
  4. Bake according to the pie recipe instructions. This crust does not need to be prebaked. If using a wet filling like pumpkin, pre-bake with weights for approximately 10 mins at 350. If using for a custard or cream, bake completely for approx 15 mins.
