  • If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two forks to cut the butter into the flour.
  • Chill the pie dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • When rolling out the pie dough, use a light touch and don't overwork the dough.
  • If the pie dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
  • If the pie dough is too dry, add a little more water.
  • When filling the pie, don't overfill it, or the filling will bubble over the edges.
