5 Reasons to Make Crustless Pies
If you have never eaten a crustless pie, you are in for a real treat! Here are 5 reasons why you should make crustless pies instead of with crust!
- It’s easier. If you have ever made a pie from scratch which includes making the crust, then you know all the prep work you have. Crustless pies have fewer steps.
- It tastes better. Pie crust can be dry and bland. This takes away from the flavor of your filling. When you don’t have crust, you get all the tasty goodness.
- It’s healthier. Seriously, you have fewer carbs when you go without the crust. Thus, you can say you ate a healthy dessert.
- It looks like an elegant pie. As the cook of your party, you want your pie to look elegant, and that is just what you get when you make it crustless.
- You can use any baking pan. Because you don’t have to stick to a round pie crust, you can make a crustless pie in any baking pan you have lying around.
