Hello, I'm a culinary expert with a passion for baking. When it comes to cooking a Pillsbury pie crust, the time can vary depending on whether you're using a pre-made crust for a pie or if you're baking the crust on its own.

For a pre-made Pillsbury pie crust, the instructions on the box are a good starting point. Generally, if you're using the crust for a pie and following a standard pie recipe, you'll likely bake the pie as a whole, which may include pre-baking the crust for about 10-15 minutes before adding the filling, and then baking it again until the pie is fully cooked. The total baking time will depend on the type of pie you're making.

If you're baking the crust on its own without a filling, you might be looking at a different baking time. However, Pillsbury pie crusts are typically designed to be used with a filling, so there may not be specific instructions for baking the crust alone.

Always remember to check the crust periodically while it's baking to prevent overcooking or burning. If you're unsure, it's better to undercook slightly and then finish cooking with the filling.
