This simple cookie dough pie crust serves as a wonderful baking canvas for any filling that you can dream up. 'Tis the season to bake lots of pies. Today, we are focused on the Thanksgiving feast. You can use this pie crust recipe for pies of the season including: pumpkin, pecan, apple, sweet potato to our almost famous Bumbleberry Pie.
A sugar cookie pie-dough is a lot easier to make from scratch than other pie crusts. The cookie like texture and consistency is also less daunting to work with, compared to other pie doughs. The dough needs to be chilled before rolling and packing into the pie tin. Once the tin is filled, use the remaining dough to cover the top! Break out those cookie cutters and get to decorating! Since its autumn, leaves or acorns would look cute and fit the season. If you are making this pie during the spring, use flower cut-outs like we did. The possibilities are endless.
This summer was the very first time in my life that I baked a scratch pie! One of the best things I bought was this pastry mat. It served as a rolling guide, to help me roll the dough into just the right sized circle.
