This pastry crust is so tender and flaky, and best of all SO EASY. A treasured family recipe from my dear father (Sam)---he never gave the recipe to anyone (except family), so shhh don't tell:) My Dad made 'Libby's Famous Pumpkin Pie' (2 pumpkin pies every Thanksgiving) and his extra-special 'Apple Pie In A Bag' recipe #117825 with this crust, and I use it for ALL of my pie baking. Enjoy! (Note: makes a single 8 or 9-inch crust).
