💡 Pro Tips

  • Brush egg wash in thin, even strokes to avoid pooling, which creates uneven browning and can cause soggy spots on the crust.technique
  • Crimp pie edges with a fork at 45-degree angles, pressing down with 2-3 pounds of pressure to create a proper seal that prevents steam escape.technique45-degree angles
  • Bake at 375-400°F to achieve proper crust browning through Maillard reactions while the interior steam creates the signature hollow effect.timing375-400°F
  • Use a pastry brush with natural bristles for egg wash application as synthetic bristles can leave streaks and don't hold wash evenly.equipment
