In reply to E Ford. Hi E! I use this pie crust for my recipe for Dutch Apple Pie. It works quite well and there is no need to pre-bake the crust, just be sure to thoroughly chill after shaping the crust before adding the apple pie filling.

Can you use this crust for an apple pie (crust cooks at same time as apples)?

In reply to Nancy Beardmore. Hi Nancy! All fixed. Thanks for catching that. It should read: For mixing without a food processor: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

I’m very confused over the recipe for all butter pie crust I print out the recipe and first it gives instructions for the food processor I read on through the instructions and I get to the last part that states to make without a food processor it says in a large bowl whisk to combine the flour sugar baking powder and salt but your recipe on page 1 does not call for the sugar baking powder and your recipe only calls for a cup of unsalted butter 2 1/2 cups of flour and a teaspoon of salt and 6-10 Tablespoons of us water. Printed instructions are not clear

Easier than I thought it would be! Perfect directions and perfect crust. It really does make a difference to chill EVERYTHING! Perfect crust for my favorite peach cream & crumb pie!

I've always been too intimidated to make my own but this recipe was so easy to follow. Thanks for adding all of the tips too. I would've never thought to put the mixing bowl and paddle in the fridge too. Genius!

In reply to Phyllis. That is a great point Phyllis. I added that note to take out of the fridge for 5-10 minutes to take the chill off.

While I totally agree with chilling, one must be aware of chilling glass pie pans and putting into a hot oven. I've had glass pie pans not only crack, but break entirely due to extreme temperature change.

In reply to Betty Anne Whitney. Hi Betty Anne! I have made this with Bob's Mill 1:1 Gluten-Free Flour Blend with success. You should be able to use any 1:1 blend as long as it contains xanthan gum.

Can I use the same process using gluten free flour?
Are there any changes other than the flour?

Thanks
