Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pie crust before filling it.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from sticking to your work surface.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the butter into the flour. This will help create a more even distribution of fat, resulting in a flakier crust.
  • If your pie crust is too dry, add a little bit of water or milk. If it's too wet, add a little bit more flour.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set.
