Hello Alicia!

It is completely valid and convenient to blind bake the pie crust in advance. If you choose to do so, you can bake it and then freeze or refrigerate it, which will help it maintain its crispy texture when baked later. However, you can also opt to freeze the dough directly in the mold without baking it, and bake it when needed.

If you choose the second option, it’s better to bake the dough directly from frozen. This will prevent the crust from losing its shape during the baking process. If you thaw it before baking, the dough might become more flexible and may not hold its shape during baking.

Both options are good; it depends on your preferences and the time you have available. If you want to maximize your time, the best option would be to pre-bake your crust and then freeze it.

I hope this information helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Best regards,
