This is dedicated to my friend Didi. There was a time 25 yrs ago that I made a decent pie crust. Then I started making decorated cakes and got away from making pies. For some reason I have not been able to make a nice flakey crust for a long time, They always came out tough..no matter which recipe I try. I resorted to the frozen or refrigerated ones, which are good and served the purpose. This Thanksgiving I was making 2 apple pies in 9.5" pyrex pans and needed the crust to fit..I decided to try making my own again. I read alot of recipes in JAP, combined a few of them and created my own. Enjo
