Can you then bake something in the pie crust? Or does this only work with non-baked pies (like banana cream, etc.)?

how much sugar? I didn't see it in the ingredints
It should be 2 tablespoons of sugar. If you want your pie crust to be sweeter, add another additional 2 tablespoons sugar. Hope this helps! Happy Cooking :)
