Once the dough is lightly browned, after 15 to 20 minutes, the crust comes out of the oven, the weights are removed, the dough is docked, then it's put back in the oven and baked 15 to 20 minutes more.

- Many frozen pies need to be cooked 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown in color. If that doesn't yield a done pie all the way through, try cooking for 30 minutes then reducing the temperature to 325ºF (160ºC) and cooking for an additional 25-30 minutes. Some people suggest thawing the pie for about 25 minutes before you place it in the oven because it helps the pastry flour cook better. 2  If you are placing a homemade raw pie into the oven, never place Pyrex or a glass pan directly into the oven. 3  It can shatter.
