Remove From Oven: Keep a close eye on the crusts and remove them from the oven just before they turn brown. The crusts will continue to cook slightly after they are removed from the oven.

Enjoy Your Perfect Pie Crusts: Once baked, allow the pie crusts to cool slightly before filling them with your favorite pie filling. Serve and savor every delicious bite!
