Should you bake crust before
filling for a cream or pecan pie?
Q: Should you cook pie crust before filling a coconut
cream pie or pecan pie? Thanks.
A: First, if you are using a recipe, follow the directions.
Secondly, if the recipe is "poorly written" and assumes
the cook knows without being instructed how to fill the pie pastry
(crust) then here are the rules of thumb for filling pie crusts:
- For precooked or ready-to-eat
cream/pudding pie fillings always bake the crust first and allow
to cool completely before adding the filling.
- For pie fillings that require
cooking before eating, such as a pecan pie, pour the filling
into an unbaked crust and bake both the crust and filling at
the same time.
