So glad both of you (hilz1 and carolynn) tried and liked the pie crust. It really is a winner every time!

Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. I made a fresh apple pie today and decided to check it out for flakiness and it was great!

Hi I tried this as I needed a good recipe for pie crust for a beef and mushroom pie. I wasn’t expecting too much from it and to my surprise it turned out great. I loved it and my husband really loved it. So much so that I made a second one for his lunch tomorrow. Thanks so much. I will never buy another shop bought pie crust ever again.
