A pie crust shrinks somewhat after being rolled out. This is partly due to the elastic quality of gluten in the flour. You can minimize shrinking by allowing the unbaked pie shell to "rest" after rolling out and fitting it in the pan - that is, simply let it sit for about 20 minutes before filling and baking the pie.

How is pie made?
For pies made in pie plates, a crust lines the pan, a filling is added and the pie is baked. For cream pies, the crust is cooked through and then the filling is added and the pie is cooled. Some pies are fried. In this case the crust is folded over the filling and the edges are sealed and then the pie is fried.
