Before filling your pie crust, be sure to "blind bake." To blind bake a pie crust means to bake it first, without the filling. One way of doing this is to put the pie dough in the pan, and then put tin foil over it and fill the pan with beans or marbles to prevent the dough from bubbling up.
Do you find it hard to bake your pie all the way through and not burn the crust? To prevent your crusts of a pie from burning, you can make a shield out of tinfoil, and then remove it a few minutes before it is suppose to come out of the oven, and you will have a perfectly golden crust.
