PRO TIP:
PREVENT SOGGY PIE CRUST
Do your fruit-filling pies end up with
soggy bottoms? Mix equal parts sugar
and flour, and sprinkle it on your pie crust
before adding the filling. This protective
layer prevents liquid from making the
crust soggy.

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

springform pan and set aside. A pie plate can also
be used.

vanilla. Stir well.
