Add Fresh Ingredients: Incorporate fresh fruits or berries into the store-bought filling. For example, if you're using a canned cherry pie filling, add fresh pitted cherries to improve the texture and flavor. Enhance Flavor with Spices: Adjust the flavor with spices and seasonings.
Chilling the dough allows time for the gluten strands in the flour to relax, which makes the dough easier to roll out and keeps it from shrinking while baking. Chilling helps moisture work throughout the dough, making it smoother and easier to roll out.
Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes, or up to overnight. Tip: Chilling hardens the fat in the dough, which will help the crust maintain its structure as it bakes. And the short rest before rolling relaxes the dough's gluten, helping prevent a tough crust.
The three most common starches used to thicken the fruit juices of a pie are flour, tapioca, and cornstarch. I prefer cornstarch because I find that it actually enhances the flavor of the fruit.
Bake your pie on a pizza stone or baking sheet: Using a preheated surface under your pie dish will help ensure the bottom of your crust is cooked evenly and won't end up soggy. Thicken your fillings: It's important to thicken your fillings to prevent a soggy crust.
Partially bake a pie crust if your crust needs longer in the oven than the pie filling, such as brownie pie or quiche. And if you want an extra-crisp pie crust for your apple pie, you can partially blind bake the crust before adding the filling.
When pies are baked in the traditional Bake mode, the recipe temperature will be in the 375-400F range. However, when baking in convection, it is advisable to reduce the recipe temperature by 25 degrees to avoid overcooking the edge of the pastry.
