How to Keep a Puff Pastry from Getting Soggy

While these Cinnamon Pear Puff Pastry Tarts are delicious, you don’t want them to get soggy! Essentially, you want to create a seal between the crust and the filling. Before you bake a crust of any kind, you’ll want to brush it with egg.

You will take an egg and beat it, then take a brush, and brush it along the top of the crust. It’s said that the proteins from the egg will help ensure that the crust doesn’t get soggy and gross. No one likes a soggy crust.

Another way to keep any crust from getting soggy is to make sure the fruit isn’t super juicy. You can get the excess juice out of fruits by letting the sit out and drain, prior to adding them to any crust.
