  1. Chill the pie crust in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line with parchment and fill with weights, bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden. Remove weights; bake for an additional 5 minutes.

  4. Pour filling into pre-baked crust, spreading evenly. Place pie on a baking sheet for easy handling.
  5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40-50 minutes until set with a slight jiggle in the center.
