Single-Crust Pie Pastry Recipe

This Single-Crust Pie Pastry is so much tastier than frozen pie crust dough, believe us. If you think you don't have time to make a pie crust, you might want to re-think that. This crust only takes 10 minutes hands-on. That's less time than it takes to go to the grocery store. Your pie will definitely taste better. The best part about this Single-Crust Pie Pastry is that you can chill it up to two days before using it, so it's the perfect thing to check off your to-do list a few days before a big gathering like Thanksgiving dinner. Sign yourself up to bring a pie or two this year, because homemade is easier than ever with this Single-Crust Pie Pastry. This pie pastry isn't just made for one type of pie, so it's versatile for any season and any pie. While we love classics like pecan, apple, and key-lime pie, there are countless pies out there, like ice cream pies, cheesecake pies, and even our Egg Custard Pie. Mama will be proud of your homemade Single-Crust Pie Pastry, and you can continue to impress by shaping the pie crust into a pretty style, like the classic crimp.
