Prepping the Pie Crust

3. Turn out on a lightly floured surface and roll into a 9 inch circle, adding flour to the rolling pin to prevent sticking.
4. With a metal spatula, gently pull up the pie crust from the surface and press it into the bottom of the pie pan.

4. Pour the pie filling into the pie pan (on top of the unbaked crust) and smooth over the top with a rubber spatula.
5. Bake in the oven for 1 hour, or until there are little cracks over the surface of the pie.
