Notes
Note on pie crust: One of my biggest inner conflicts in cooking is Pie Crust. I am a foodie purist and I love making food from scratch. But pie crust has been a challenge for me. We have found a recipe that we love, and it is loaded with real butter and lard!
So, even though I continue to try to make real pie dough at least once a year, I have found the store-bought rolled out pie crust to be a pretty darn good substitute and certainly is much easier and less likely to mess up the pie. Plus it’s a lot faster, and you can make a yummy pie in less than twenty minutes!
The rolled out pie crust usually comes in a box of two in the refrigerated section of the grocery store, near the refrigerated biscuit dough in the pop-open cans.
