To Make a 2 crust pie
Although it’s not quite double the recipe because the top crust is a little smaller,it’s easier to double the recipe and roll the extra for a little nibble.
Make double the recipe in one bowl and divide in half to roll out.After rolling and placing the bottom crust(make sure there is an overhang of about an inch around)you can take about 1/4 off the ball to save for the nibble and roll the rest to the same thickness as the bottom.Place over your filled pie and pinch edges together.You want the bottom crust to extend a little bit beyond the upper crust and pinch towards the pie which will bring the bottom crust over the top edges to seal the filling in.Make slits with a knife or poke with a fork so that when the filling boils,the steam can escape Bake as your recipe directs..Then
you can roll out the extra,sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake nest to your pie(but for a shorter time..Sounds way more complicated than it is .

  1. Hello. It was a pleasure meeting you and speaking with you this morning! I just watched your pie crust video, it's wonderful – and looks very easy. You are a joy! Sincerely, Karen at the front desk 🙂

  2. I'm so happy that i found you with this very first video, lookingfor how to make piecrust,. i have to say that it took a few times to get close to a normal-looking result, mostly because I was using too big of a pie plate, I think! But since that day, every time I make a pie, I am joyfully grateful for…wax paper!! Btw, you have never looked foolish, just completely trustworthy and matter-of-fact. Never smarmy or pretentious, so thanks bunches!

  3. 'CANOLA OIL' IS PRESSED OUT WITH AN EXTREMELY HARMFUL CHEMICAL. I STOPPED USING IT YEARS AGO.
    SOME ARE SAYING IT IS THE WORST OUT ON THE MARKET BECAUSE OF THE POISON IN IT…
    THE BLUE PACKET OF SUGAR SUBSTITUTE CALLED 'EQUAL' BUT THERE IS A CHEMICAL NAME FOR IT ALSO, IS MADE FROM:
    'MICRO ORGANISIM BACTERIA EXCRETMENT'
    OK, SO I RESEARCHED REAL HARD TO FIND OUT 'WHAT KIND OF BACTERIA? IT WAS 'ECOLI BACTERIA'
    THEY TOOK ALL THE REAL SUGAR OUT OF CHEWING GUMS AND PUT THIS CRAP IN IT, ALSO ALL DIET SODA'S, ALL.
    JIFF AND SKIPPY, PETER PAN, TOP NAMES IN PEANUT BUTTER AND ALL OTHERS BUT 'SMUCKER'S NATURAL', TOOK OUT ALL THE NATURAL HEALTHIER PEANUT OIL OUT AND REPLACED IT WITH BAD UNHEALTHY OILS AND SELL THE EXTRACTED PEANUT OILS FROM THE PEANUT BUTTER SEPARATELY FOR EXTRA PROFIT.
    ALL ARTIFICIAL BUTTER FLAVORING FOR: POPCORN, CRISCO, COOKING OILS, SPRAYS, HAVE A CHEMICAL IN IT THAT JUST SMELLING THE AROMA FROM IT CAN CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE OVER TIME..POPCORN PLANT WORKERS GOT LUNG TRANSPLANTS SMELLING IT..THIS IS DOCUMENTED. A HOME USER OF MIROWAVE POPCORN MAKER GOT A TRANS PLANT TOO. ( ONLY SMELLING THE HEATED OIL VAPORS.) BE SAFE GOD BLESS!

  4. You are so refreshing after watching those cooking shows!! I was so discouraged but after watching your show, I m very encouraged to make a pie. Many many thanks for being so real. 👍👍👌👌🙏🏾🙏🏾

  5. I love you Nana. I love your calming voice and your no bs instructions. I have been searching FOREVER for a flaky pie crust without hydrogenated shortening. Your family is so lucky to have you!

  6. I'm laughing at the way this video began. Thank you for that! The information you shared is awesome. Thank you. Thanks to your grandchildren for roping you into this!

  7. I found your pie crust recipe a few years ago. I've been making it ever since. I now know the recipe by heart, but every so often I come back to watch this video. What's even better than this awesome recipe is your beautiful spirit! God bless!

  8. Nana, thank you so much for your recipe and great video! I guess I should thank your grandchildren for roping you into it! I've used it for all of my pies and it always turns out great each time. I'm teaching my daughter with your recipe now, passing it on. You're great!

  9. I loved this easy to learn, straight forward instructions given by this cute Nana!! Thank you so much. I needed a quick crust for Thanksgiving. I prefer it to be homemade but I have not made one in a very long time and forgot how it is done. This is done to perfection. I miss my granny who died when she was 99.5 years young. I always loved watching her cook and bake homemade receipes. Since she has gone home to be with the Lord, none of the children documented the receipes, we wish we had now. I remember some things, but having the actual ingredients are key. Thank God for these smart grandchildren who decided to film these wonderful keepsake receipes. Thank you for sharing them with the world. God bless you and your family, Jesus name, from my family to yours!!! I look forward to viewing many more.
