Ladies this is a great pie crust especially for those that have difficulty rolling out pie dough. It is one of my favorites when I am in a hurry and just don't feel like all the mess.
This is also a great recipe to let the kids make, as it is made in the pie pan and its like play dough! I found this crust to be very light tender and crispy. And it has a great taste! Besides it's also better for you as it is made with Canola oil!
I use this recipe also for the base of my cheese cakes just use the spring form pan. Have fun with it and experiment with it's use, as it is very versatile!

How to Make Amish Pie Crust

Step-by-Step

I mix this with a fork at the beginning until it gets like a play dough consistency then begin kneading in the pan to complete the mixing.
Once mixed begin patting to the sides and the bottom of the pan taking care to not get it too thick in any areas, It should be pressed to be somewhat level.
Now just as you would a rolled pie crust you can press the top edge to form that pretty edge or just leave it straight across. Your preference!
Either bake empty and fill later or fill now with your choice of filling.
If your baking just the pie crust alone bake at 350 degrees until golden brown.
