Simple Pie Crust Recipe

My family has used this flakey, and delicious Simple Pie Crust Recipe for decades.  With just 4 ingredients, it’s so simple to make, and is perfect with ANY filling!  My grandmother passed the recipe to her children, and then my mom shared it with my sister and I.  While I rarely make the holiday pies, I have used this recipe for pot pie, apple pie, and our family favorite, chocolate pudding pie.  My aunt can roll it and cut the most beautiful shapes for the crust.  She braids it, she criss crosses it, she cuts mini apple leaves…her pies look amazing…my pies never look as pretty as hers, but they taste as good. 

[yumprint-recipe id=’18’]I mentioned our family favorite pie, Chocolate Pudding Pie, above.  We make and bake the crust, while the crust cools, we make stove top chocolate pudding.  (Usually two boxes fills one pie crust)  

Once the pudding is ready, we gently pour it into the pie crust and allow it to cool to room temperature before we put it in the refrigerator overnight.  Top with whipped cream and enjoy!
