Tips:

For the perfect pie crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. This will create a flaky, tender crust that is not too greasy.
Be sure to chill the pie dough before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from sticking to your work surface and will make it easier to handle.
When filling the pie crust, do not overfill it. This will prevent the filling from spilling out during baking.
Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes to set the crust. Then, reduce the temperature to finish baking the pie.
Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. This will allow the filling to set and will make it easier to slice.
