I have always purchased store bought pie crusts. I use them for so many recipes like my Caramel Apple Pie Cookies. Store bought can be so quick and easy. The downside is store bought crusts can be so expensive.

I have always been so intimidated by making my own homemade pie crusts. Last evening, I decided to phone my grandmother and she was wonderful enough to share this super simple four ingredient crust that is foolproof. OMG why did I wait this long to ask her for a good pie crust recipe?

I know it will make for a great crust for my Homemade Apple Filling, I am anxious to make that pie too! I know I will be using it frequently this holiday season.

Crimping a pie crust can be so intimidating. I can never get my crust perfect. I watched this How to Crimp Decorative Pie Crust video by Fine Cooking over on YouTube . I used the Twisted Rope look for our crust. It was easy and turned out great.

    I just made this crust and have it in the refrigerator until I finish baking peanut butter cookies, then I’m going to make the brown sugar pie filling and bake. The crust was easy to make and recipe was straight forward. I trust it will turn out delish! Thanks so much!

    This crust was so easy to make and was perfect for the veggie quiche I made. It had a delicious warm buttery flavor and really complimented the other ingredients in the quiche. Definitely recommend this recipe!

    Hi, I assume this is for 1 crust only, not top too? You should state that clearly.

    If your making this crust for chicken pot pie, do you need to cook it before you add the filling? And again after? What temp are you supposed to cook the pie crust at & for him long?

    Do you bake the crust before making the rest of your pie? If so, for how long?

      Hi Aubrey! You would follow the instructions for whatever flavored pie you are making. So, if it is just a pudding style no bake, you would pre-bake. Hope that helps – Jen

      Usually pie crusts bake at 450 for 9-12 mins until golden brown.

    Perfect thank you! I cheat and use my food processor instead of using a pastry cutter or fork to cut in the butter.
