Easy and Authentic Crispy Pie Crust
I wanted a crispy crust for my apple pie.
The batter will get runny and hard to handle if the butter melts, so make sure your room is cool enough or make it during one of the colder months.
Try not to touch the crust too much before baking, or it'll melt with the warmth of your heads.
Freeze the pie crust before baking to save it for later. Recipe by AyakoOOOOO
