Description
This pie crust shield is a quick, effective way to ensure your crust bakes evenly without burning. Using just aluminum foil, you can create a protective barrier while the filling cooks, resulting in a delicious, browned crust that perfectly complements your pie’s flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 strips aluminum foil (12 inches each)
Instructions
- Cut two to three long strips of foil, about 12 inches each.
- Fold each strip in half lengthwise.
- Press one strip of foil against the side of the pie plate to cover part of the crust edge.
- Repeat with another strip of foil to continue covering the crust edge.
- Add one more strip if needed to cover the entire edge of the pie crust, leaving the center mostly uncovered.
Notes
Ensure the foil strips are folded firmly to create a sturdy shield.
Replace foil if it becomes too dark during baking.
This method works best for pies with a longer baking time.
