Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Preheat oven to 450°F. Unroll softened pie crust over top of an 8-inch round tart pan, pushing dough into bottom and up sides of pan, and trimming off excess around edge. Place in freezer for 15 minutes until dough becomes firm, then line tart shell with parchment paper. Fill parchment with dry beans or pie weights and bake for 8 minutes. Remove parchment and weights, and use a fork to prick several holes in the bottom of the shell before baking 4-6 more minutes until edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
