This is an easy no fuss and fail safe pie crust with a unique texture and tastes awesome!! It's not flaky like a regular pie crust more like a cookie consistency. I think it holds together better than a regular crust when serving. This pie crust recipe is to die for...no seriously! This is now my "standard" pie crust recipe!! I've used it for Pecan, Pumpkin and Apple Pie's...so far. My mom pulled it out of a magazine...sorry I don't remember the name. Probably Family Circle or Southern Living. The colder the butter the better, but not frozen. And chilling the dough before rolling is very important! Remember...chill...chill...chill! 10/24/13 - I have substituted Splenda for sugar in this and it's awesome still!
