Can you then bake something in the pie crust? Or does this only work with non-baked pies (like banana cream, etc.)?
almost 8 years agoYes, you can definitely use this pie crust to make any pie recipes that call for a pie crust. Happy Baking :)

how much sugar? I didn't see it in the ingredints
over 7 years agoIt 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 :)
