Instructions
Once you have your equipment and ingredients gathered, first you'll need to preheat your oven to 350F.
Remove your pie crust from the freezer and use your foil to line your pie crust. Ensure the foil is covering the edges of the pie crust. Use more than one layer if necessary.
Add your pie weights into the center of your pie crust. You can use any of the ideas above and they'll all be adequate substitutes to use besides baking beans.
Place your pie crust into the center of the oven and bake for around 50-60 minutes for best results. Once fully baked, remove the pie crust from the oven and use the edges of the foil to pull out your weights and use your pie crust as needed. Reuse your pie weights at a later use, depending what you've used.
