6/19/2010 02:50:41 PM Report AbuseIt's clear that the Baked Pastry Tart Shell recipe was originally part of this magazine story but was omitted here. Just make your favorite crust recipe or purchase a pie shell and (very important!), pre-bake before filling. Here's a BHG recipe: http://www.bhg.com/recipe/pies/baked-pastry-shell/
5/4/2010 12:48:14 AM Report AbuseJust buy a box pillsbury pie crust and use one for the crust. Just put in a tart pan. Easy!
