You can if you want to, El, but it's not always a necessary step. We have just the resources to help you. The first is our blog article on how to make sure your pie crust has a crisp bottom, and the second is our Pie Filling Thickeners guide. Usually, a crust will be soggy because the pan isn't getting hot enough or there isn't enough thickener in your filling. Take a look at these two resources and we bet with a couple of tweaks, your pies will be wonderfully crispy without the need to blind bake! Annabelle@KAF
