******************************************
try blind baking (partially baking)your pie crust before you fill it and place the pie pan in a water bath before baking.

Blind baking is baking an unfilled pie shell to produce a partially baked crust. Blind baking the crust prevents the crust from becoming soggy from custard based fillings, .

To blind bake a crust, once your crust is prepared and placed in your pie pan, prick a few holes (this is called "docking") or fill it with pie weights* (do one or the other, if you fill it with weights, you don't need to dock), (Line the pie with parchment paper and use a couple cups of dry beans if you do not have weights.*)
and bake for several minutes let cool slightly and add filling and then bake until done..knife inserted near the center comes out clean

I always use beans but you can buy weights.
