You can vary this recipe by varying or omitting the solid ingredients as you desire.
For your baked pie crust Try : Baking the pie crust 10 minutes with foil and weights, remove foil and weights, brush the bottom and sides of the crust with whisked egg white. Bake uncovered about 5 minutes longer in a 450º F oven.
