 Pie season is beginning. Avoid these three problems, follow the recipes, and chances are--you'll have perfect pies.
1. "I can't make a good crust!" That's the most common problem. There's a simple solution: Get a pie crust mix.
2. "My pies have soggy bottoms." Another simple solution--get a dark pan--though the next solution helps avoid soggy bottoms.
3. By the time my pies are baked--especially pumpkin--the edges are overdone." Yep. The edges always bake faster--unless they're protected by a pie crust shield. With a pie crust shield, you can bake your pies longer--which helps the soggy bottoms.
