Press-In Shortbread Pie Crust image

Because the dough isn't rolled out, you don't need a rolling pin -- just a mixing bowl and a spoon. The finished crust is crisp, cookielike, and sophisticated. Use this recipe as a crust for our Pumpkin Tart.

This shortbread crust was a breeze to make! I loved that I didn't have to roll it out. It baked up perfectly and was the perfect base for my lemon meringue pie. This will be my go-to pie crust recipe from now on!
