To avoid a soggy pie crust , you can try pre-baking the crust, or blind baking it for a bit before adding the fillings. Another way to keep sogginess away is by brushing the crust with egg to create a barrier between the pie crust and filling. It's also important to keep out as much moisture as possible, so if you're making a fruit pie, let the raw fruit sit with some sugar to extract any extra moisture.
