For a flakier crust, ensure the shortening is very cold. You can even chill the flour and bowl beforehand. If the crust edges are browning too quickly during the blind baking, cover them with foil. Feel free to experiment with other fruits in this pie, such as berries or nectarines. For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of butter to the filling after removing it from the heat.
