The picture is a classic apple pie. I will add the recipe here in the near future.
The best pie crusts that I know of has been the all butter pie crust. These past couple of months, I was waiting for butter to go on sale. I finally gave up and decided to go for a butter substitute pie crust. I wish to share this with all of you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
This recipe make a double crust for a 9 inch pie pan.

Ingredients

2 servings
  1. 1 tablespoonsugar
  2. 1 teaspoonsalt
  3. 2 cupsall purpose flour
  4. 12 tablespooncold margarine (cut into cubes)
  5. 1/4 cupscold water (maybe more as needed)
  6. 1 teaspoonvinegar

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine salt and sugar with flour

  2. 2

    Toss the cold cubed margarine into the flour mixture

  3. 3

    Cut diced margarine into the flour mixture (use pastry cutter or two knifes) until the margarine is the size of coarse peas.

  4. 4

    Gradually add the water mixture into the flour until a dough can be formed. You may need to add more water, but add a tablespoon at a time.You know you have added enough water when you grab a handful of the dough and it doesn't break apart.

  5. 5

    Combine the dough and form into a ball. Do not overwork the dough.

  6. 6

    Divide the dough into two balls of dough. Wrap both in plastic wraps and rest in the refrigerator for at least a half hour.

  7. 7

    Remove one dough from the refrigerator. Liberally flour your work surface and your rolling pin. Gradually roll the dough into a circle. Make sure you roll your dough to be about an inch more than your pie plate.

  8. 8

    I used a pot cover as a guide to cut the dough so that I can get a perfect circle.

  9. 9

    I personally oiled and floured my pie plate before putting the pie dough in it.

  10. 10

    Place your rolled pie dough into your pie plate.

  11. 11

    Follow the same step of rolling your dough for the top pie crust. Only make the size of the circle smaller.
