I love sugar cookies and this crust really does an apple pie justice. I made an apple pie with it and it sucked up the flavor of the apples and cinnimon really well. It was like eating a cookie along with my pie.

This is the recipe my mom taught me about 40 years ago. EXCEPT, we adds more sugar! That's funny...she said it was a family secret! You must be in the family! Great crust recipe for the first timer. You'll be the talk of the town! To manage the richness of the crust, roll crust out and place the crust into the pan with wax paper.

Very tasty, bakes well, slices nicely (doesn't crumble or fall apart). Worked beautifully with pumpkin pie. I used one whole egg rather than 1/2 so that it wasn't so dry. Otherwise, it was very quick and easy to make. Some people may find it a little bit on the sweet side - next time, I may not use so much sugar. Overall, one of the best pie crust recipes I've tried so far.

I have been baking for many years and by far this is the worst pie crust recipe I have ever used. It was easy to mix. The mixture was too gooie and very hard to roll out. I will never be using this awful recipe again.

This was a delicious crust, but a bit difficult to roll out. I did as some other reviewers suggested and added extra egg, and that helped a lot. Will make again!

This pie crust was AMAZING. I made it with a pumpkin pie (the first pie I've ever made from scratch) I'm not a big fan of crusts, I usually eat the filling and leave the crust alone. I Loved the way the crust turned out, I plan on making many more pies with this recipe!!

I thought this was a wonderful crust with a pumkin pie. My family thought it was great. I did add a bit of milk to soften th crust before I rolled it but it turned out just wonderful. Thanks so much.

I will make it again, but wish I had read the reviews first. It was incredibly difficult to roll out and kept breaking. Eventually, when I was about to give up, I grew brains and rolled it out on wax paper and transfered it to the pan from that. When I was ready to put it in the oven, I rubbed a bit of water over the top and sprinkled sugar on it, and wrapped the edges in aluminum foil. It was the best looking pie I've ever made, and my parents said they had never tasted better, either.

I made this crust for an apple pie, doubling the recipe. I took the advice of other reviewers and increased the amount of egg, so used two eggs. I didn't have any trouble working with the dough. It rolled out nicely (between waxed paper) and baked well. I did cover the pie with foil to prevent over-browning. As for the final result, the texture of the crust was nice, and the flavor was OK as well. Not too sweet, but not as good as I'd been hoping.
