TIL a trick for keeping pie crusts from getting soggy from a baker in Asheville

I was at a small bakery there and saw them brush the bottom crust with a thin layer of egg white before adding the filling. Has anyone tried this with a custard pie like pumpkin?

Ugh, tell me about it. My last pumpkin pie was a total mess, the bottom was just a wet sponge. I'm definitely trying that egg white trick next time.
