Homemade Single Pie Crust
If you have had trouble making a pie crust or just never tried, start with this one. It really is the easiest one I have ever made. I have found the secret to making my crust turn out good is by adding enough water so that it isn’t so dry that it cracks and falls apart but not too wet that it’s sticky. As you see in the picture above, the dough formed nicely for me.

That dough looks fab
Thank you Sheree, the only one that works for me.
So perfectly done! Thanks for sharing .
Awww thank you Nisha, I love this crust because it never fails me.
I’m inspired but leery, pie crusts have not been one of my talents! C
I don’t like to make pie crusts because they are messy, but this one always seems to turn out great. Try it you might be surprised Cheryl! ❤️
I am definitely a store crust user. 😂 But it’s good to have this recipe handy should I become less lazy one day! So thanks!
Don’t be lazy, make it a challenge..lol
I usually buy my pie crust because I have never had one turn out the way I like it. I may give this one a try and see what I think. I can taste a coconut cream pie in my future.
Yum let me know when to stop by! Lol
I wish you could. I will have to give some to my kids or neighbour as I don’t want to eat a whole pie myself.
Smart lady! It is so easy to devour a pie. Enjoy the rest of your weekend Carla. 💕
Looks a little better than Pillsbury! lol
Have a great Thanksgiving
Hahaha but I have to admit, don’t mind Pillsbury if I’m in a hurry. Thank you!
This looks awesome
Recipes on the labels are always so good. Thank you!
I follow a squirrel site on Facebook and yesterday I saw a photo of a pumpkin pie with a pie crust that had dough leaves and in the middle was a squirrel … pretty clever and you didn’t see much of the pumpkin. I would not want to eat it after being that creative!
People are so clever!
Yes, that would be a lot of bother to do, but turned out nice. My mom never made lattice-top pies for her fruit pies but she got a gizmo from “Taste of Home” and their little catalog once to make them. I don’t see it around, so whether it worked or not I don’t remember – I mention it as you said you are the kitchen gadget queen and you have subscribed to “Taste of Home” in the past.

I just e-mailed you the picture of the pie crust with the squirrel – that’s your “assignment” for next Thanksgiving!
Hahaha I didn’t have to make pie, my mom made two and gave me one. How lucky was that! That was a lot of work making that squirrel. Thank you for sending it to me.
You lucked out – good for you. Mom said “well Diane was supposed to get the day off so let me help out my girl!” Glad you liked it Diane … I thought it was a nice touch … maybe too pretty to eat!
This is saving my sanity right now!
Awesome I love this crust!
