Should I prebake my pie crust?

Tomorrow I'm making the pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving dinner. I'm making the pie crust and filling from scratch. I'm having a complete brain fart - do I prebake the crust before I fill it with the pumpkiny goodness? Or do I just put the crust in the pie plate and fill it up?

Normally, this isn't an issue during the rest of the year, but I think I'm psyching myself out over Thanksgiving dinner, especially since pumpkin pie is my favorite part!

    Do NOT bake the pie crust first. You always bake them together. When you make the pie crust, you use cold water...a "secret" that my grandma taught me was use 2 tablespoons cold water and 3 tablespoons vinegar. The vinegar gives you a more flaky crust. Good Luck! I LOVE this time of year cause I absolutely LOVE baking!

    Thanks, ALane. That's what I thought, but I think I was thinking too hard about it. Smile

    You're welcome! I make the same apple pie like 10 times a year and I always have to triple check the recipe!
