Kristin's Magic Pie Crust by: Jennifer

My friend Kristin gave me this recipe & I'll never make a traditional pie crust again!!  This is the easiest pie crust you will ever make--and it turns out perfect every time! I use this crust for sweet and savory pies.  I like to add Parmesan cheese and some herbs then use it with pot pies.  Or try adding cinnamon & cloves for an apple pie.  Be creative and enjoy!

Kristin's Magic Pie Crust

makes 2

3 C flour

1 1/4 C Crisco

1 tsp salt

Cut together until it looks like corn meal.  Then, in a 1 cup measuring cup, combine 1 egg (slightly beaten), and 1 tsp apple cider vinegar.  Fill the rest of the cup with cold water.  Combine the wet and dry ingredients & stir with a fork until combined.  Then use your hands to clump the dough together in a ball.  Divide in half & roll out.  Once it is rolled out to the right size, I like to fold it in half and then in half the other way.  Then you can pick it up & put it in the pie dish, and unfold it.  (Make sure your your pie dish is greased and floured).  Trim the edges to a uniform length, slightly larger than the pie dish.  Pinch the dough between your fingers to form a zig-zag.  Use a fork to poke holes throughout the bottom and sides of the crust.  Bake according the directions for your particular pie.
