How do you protect your pie crusts edges from burning?

Foil here. But I don't mess with the edging thing. I just pull a big enough piece off and lightly cover the top of the pie, just tucking under the rim. I love quiche too ..especially with all of my happy hens popping out eggs on a daily basis

I use one of these gadgets, and it works really well:

I've never had a problem with aluminum foil and I'm the biggest spatial idiot there is, thus I always pull off way too large a piece of aluminum foil to make the properly sized circle to go around the crust. My wife gets a big laugh out of it, but nobody's perfect

I make pies more than any other dessert, and I have never had to put anything around the edges. I think if you are having this problem, the oven is too hot. I start pies at 425 for 15 minutes, then down to 350 for about 40 minutes.

do you make your own crust from scratch? I rarely do and I'm wondering if the store bought in the box are more prone to this premature browing. Do you put your pies on the lowest shelf in the oven?

Yes and yes.
