Prick the dough with a fork to reduce bubbling, and line the inside of the crust with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place pie weights or dry beans on top of the liner, and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the weights and liner, and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Add the filling, and then bake the pie according to the recipe. Cover the crust edges with a foil ring to prevent burning during baking.
