What does it mean to "blind bake" a pie crust?
Answer It means you bake it empty, then fill it later.
Blind baking is really just pre-baking a pie crust. This is done for cream pies or other fillings that do not require baking after filling the pie. Pie weights, or dried beans, are often placed in the bottom of the crust during baking to prevent the crust from puffing up or distorting during the baking process.
