You’ve found my favorite homemade pie recipes from scratch and rustic galette recipes. These scrumptious pies are easy to prepare and so good.
Serve with my homemade ice cream and you have a perfect dessert made completely from scratch.
This pie crust is easy to work with and very flaky. Add the ice water one tablespoon at a time, and toss with a fork after each addition.
My homemade pie crust recipe can be used for any pie, quiche, pasty and anything else you can think of…
For a no-bake pie (such as my favorite, fresh strawberry), bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes. For a pie which isn’t as sweet, I would also recommend adding 1 tablespoon of sugar to the flour.
MY PERFECT HOMEMADE PIE CRUST
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
1/4 cup butter, softened
1-1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup ice cold water
Mix shortening, flour, and salt together with a fork or a pastry blender until very crumbly. Add as much water as needed to hold together, and mix lightly with a fork.
Roll gently on a floured pastry cloth to about an inch larger than pie plate. Fold carefully in half, lift to pie plate, and unfold. Press into pan.
For a single-crust pie, trim with a small knife to about 1/2 inch beyond rim. Fold up, and pinch so edge of pie is raised from rim.
For a two-crust pie, trim bottom crust to edge of rim, fill, and top with crust about 1/2 inch larger than rim. Tuck top crust under bottom along rim. Seal with floured fork. This crust is awesome with any of my homemade pie recipes.
Here’s a tip that I use every time to prevent a soggy pie crust, brush a thin layer of egg white over the bottom crust before filling. Works every time.
This is a wonderfully simple homemade pie recipe was printed in the Wisconsin State Journal via Cooks’ Exchange column.

Cooking For A Crowd?
Double the recipe and put it in a 9×13 pan with a homemade graham cracker crust.
Crush the peanut butter cups and mixed them all into the filling. When serving top with whip cream and a chocolate drizzle. You will be famous for this recipe. Seriously.
For this homemade pie recipe, you may also use peanut butter cream cookies; crushed. Just awesome, I might add (I like it better). When you make your own whipped cream and fold in it the filling – it tastes just like light cream cheese frosting.
OREO Cookie Crust
1-1/2 cups Oreo cookies, finely crushed (blender)
3 TBS butter, melted
PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees.
To make the crust, combine the crushed cookies and melted butter together in a bowl and mix well. Spray the pie plate with vegetable oil and using your fingers, press mixture into the bottom of your pie plate. Bake for 5 minutes and cool completely before filling.
