How To Make sugar and spice pie crust

  • Step 1
    Add all the ingredients to a mixing, but only half of the shortening. Mix until crumbly.
  • Step 2
    Then add the shortening tablespoon by tablespoon until the consistency of a creamy pie crust dough. Stir well between each addition.
  • Step 3
    Take batter and form in a ball. Place in freezer for 30 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Then, roll out on a lightly floured cutting board.
  • Step 5
    Cut and place dough into desired shapes. Add your filling. Then paint exposed dough with egg whites and sprinkle on additional turbinado sugar.
  • Step 6
    Cover your entire pie with tin foil, until the last 15 minutes of baking. Then remove foil to allow the pie crust to crisp.
  • Step 7
    If you forget the tin foil, you run the risk of blackening your exposed crust, but not cooking your filling all the way.
