It depends. In some households, the traditional family recipe calls for a soft pie crust that does not require blind baking. Simply pour the pie filling into the chilled and shaped pie crust and put them to bake. I prefer to blind-bake the pie crust for 10 mins or so. Place parchment paper into the rolled-out and shaped pie crust. Add baking beans or dry black beans or uncooked rice 3/4th way up and bake at 375F for 10 mins. I then remove the baking beans, pour the pie filling 3/4th way up and bake the pie for 50 to 65 mins.
