💡 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
