What Happens If You Dont Chill Your Pie Crust?
If you don’t chill your pie crust, the fat in the crust will melt too quickly in the oven, resulting in a tough and dense crust that is difficult to cut and eat. The crust may shrink and lose its shape, and the filling may leak out. Chilling the crust helps the fat solidify and prevents it from melting too quickly, resulting in a flaky and tender crust.
