DIY Bake Strips

Pie crust and cake edges have a tendency to burn, especially those with denser fillings that take longer to bake.  Here’s a neat little trick I learned from my cake days to make your own baking strips… you can use them for pie, cake, brownies & more!

Roll out a sheet of baking foil that is long enough to wrap around your pie dish. Roll out a sheet of paper towels the same length. Wet the paper towel strip, wring it out, then lay evenly across the sheet of foil.

Fold up the foil length-wise, leaving about a one-inch border at the top.

Fold the top edge of the foil over, almost like closing an envelope.

Wrap your foil strip around your pie or cake - keeping the open seam on the outside. Take the tail end of the foil strip and bend it over the other piece of foil its overlapping with, pinching it so that it stays wrapped around. Bake pie according to your recipe.
