Do You Brush pie crust with egg white or egg yolk?

Since there is protein in both the yolk and the white, any whole egg or yolk will make the crust both shiny and brown. The white, on the other hand, will only promote browning without contributing any significant gloss to the crust. Egg washes may contain water, milk, or cream, and sometimes salt.

How do I know when my apple pie is done?

Most say the pie is done if the crust is brown and the filling is bubbling. The truth is it needs to bubble for at least 6 to 10 minutes to properly cook the fruit. This depends on how ripe the fruit was, how thin it was cut and the variety of the fruit. But still, this is not the sure way to see if your pie is done.
