What texture is good pie crust supposed to be? I've never had pie, and all the pies I've made so far are soft on the bottom but crispy on the edges and top. They taste good, but I'm wondering if the bottom should be crispy.
I wouldn't call it crispy, necessarily, but it shouldn't be soggy. It definitely should be flaky and golden brown underneath.
Are you baking the bottom by itself before adding the filling and top? Because you're supposed to.
Otherwise it's just going to steam with all that shit on top of it.
looks like a really fine 'go'za OP
I make my pies incredibly soggy because I like them that way. Just to cook things how you like them.

More like a 'go 'zone if you ask me

Does it give you a chubby to be so completely and habitually useless?

How do you know they are good though?
Tender, "flaky." If you have to use any more force with the side of your fork to cut the pie crust than you have to use for the actual pie interior, it's too hard.

They taste good relative to other sweets I've had and worse pies I've made. I didn't say they tasted perfect or even great, and clearly I suspect they're flawed.
Flaky, but still a little soft is perfect imo.

Nigga do you even English?
I really don't enjoy pie

That depends entirely on the type of pastry used, there are several.

Not everyone has English as a first language, I am sorry I do not. I suppose I should have said, 'I never had pie before my own.'
Soggy bottom indicates a bad pie dish. Get non stick thin round dish for cakes. Dough should be flakey, crispy and golden. Food wishes has perfect dough recipe

I have tried both stainless steel and glass pie plates of varying sizes, with the same result, having heard glass is the best option. Still they all turn out the same. I am beginning to suspect perhaps my oven is not the right temperature?
Glass doesn't conduct heat like metal. Crispy botton can be done only with thin metal. 180°C works for me just fine. If you have a fan owen no problems there. Glass belongs in fridge not owen

Par cook the bottom
