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

A Baker's Pie Crust
The pie crust recipe in a cookbook I had was too sticky and hard to work, so I adapted it using a crispy biscuit recipe that I had. I used 300 g of medium-strength or all-purpose flour this time. I tried various ratios of flours, but this recipe worked well with all cake flour or 100 g of bread flour + 200 g of cake flour too. I love how this pie stays crispy even the next day. There's no need to fold the crust, plus you only need one bowl.The cream cheese and butter blend better if you work them with your hands, but they do melt with your body temperature. If you use a fork, they blend better with the flour and your hands don't get messy. If you knead it or the cream cheese and butter melt while you're making the crust, the layers won't form properly, so it's best to chill the cream cheese and butter very well beforehand, and to make a crumbly crust quickly. Chilled ingredients will result in the nicest crust when baked. This recipe yields around 8 to 10 mini-pies about the size of your palm, or one double pie crust. If you only need the bottom crust for a pie, use half the listed amounts. Recipe by Koharumama

Apple Pie Made with an Easy Pie Crust
I used the pie crust recipe that I always make for these apple pies.・These are moderately sweet. Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste.・ Don't put in too much filling! It will leak while baking.・ In Step 2, don't over knead the dough! If you mix too much, it will harden and will be difficult to roll out thinly. Recipe by Fushicche
Non-traditional Pie Crust
This recipe comes from my ex's family, which is Italian. Though I'm Italian, I never got a pie recipe from my grandma, so I've optioned this as my own. It's nothing at all like a typical pie crust, and I don't know enough about pastries and baking to even compare it to anything else, but it is now my favorite. I like it, I think, because it doesn't take anything away from the flavor of the pie filling. I have only ever used it for fruit pies, which are my favorite.
3 Minute American-style Pie Crust
This is an old recipe from an American cookbook that I had when I was a child. Once I became an adult and made this recipe again, I wondered why the heck I was making pie crusts that required layering and folding. So I threw that out and now I always use this recipe when making quiche or apple pie or anything.Since you can make this so quickly, you can pop it in the oven before dinner and then there will be a wonderful scent after dinner and you'll be able to enjoy dessert right away.The small amount of vinegar is really important. Don't worry about the smell! You won't be able to tell at all. Thank you to everyone who has made this recipe! When adding the water to the powdered ingredients, stop adding once there is still some powder left in the mixture. Doing so will prevent the batter from becoming too watery. Recipe by Hamohamo
