how long to cook a pie crust shell
If your pie doesn't need to be baked, for example, chocolate pudding or fresh strawberry pie, defrost the frozen crust for about 15 minutes before pricking the bottom with a fork. Line it with parchment paper or aluminum foil, and add pie weights or dry beans. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, and remove the weights and liner. Return the crust to the oven and cook it another 7 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the bottom begins to brown. Cool the crust completely and fill with your chosen filling.
