Hi Bel. We hope we can help! Glass pans get quite a bit hotter than metal pans do, so it's quite possible that it's drying out the crust giving it a more brittle texture so it doesn't hold together later on. Next time, try lowering your oven temperature by 25°F. You can check it at the same time, but it will probably take a little bit longer since you're using a lower temperature. However, a lower temperature allows glass to heat a bit more evenly and can give you more control. Since Pyrex is clear, you can see the crust through it and be able to check it without opening the oven door. We hope the next crust stays intact! Annabelle@KAF
