of the cookies. Mix with 5 Tbs of unsalted melted butter. The end. Just place into the bottom of the pie dish/tin. Don't press or pack in it.

I'm sure jdub has some other hints.

Agreed on all fronts. I have 4 pies to make for Thursday.

Frozen Marie Calendars Dutch Apple is not awful

Apple is one of the easiest pies to make. Just make it.

reagan21

I'm not making any pies. My brother and his wife have pie duties.

Gunga Galunga

Apple is the easiest and the best.

None of the frozen Marie Calendar pies are awful. I fully admit homemade pies are 100% better. But I'm still going to

Good call on the biscoff cookie crust.

Can we post this pie dough recipe? Maybe this is the year I quit Pillsbury for

2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tsp granulated sugar, 1 tsp salt, 1 cup

Yeah that’s what I do for the crust as well. Though, I actually pack/press the

when I pack, I find its too hard to cut out and I like the sandy texture when

I have a hard time supporting the Pillsbury pie crust suggestion.

If you're patient, it's not that difficult. I'll be prepping my pie dough this

reagan21

11:05am

If you're making 1 or 2, agreed. If you're making 15 plus, nope. But I also wrote this for everyone

jdub

We are homemade pie crust purists. Just look at these

Ted Lasso

I cook and bake a lot and I've never been able to make what I would consider a good homemade pie crust

If it's too sticky then you have too much moisture....which is also why it would

I don't want to go toe to toe with you on pie. I'll lose every time.

I admit to a strong anti Cool Whip bias.

jdub

11:15am

Stability is its only advantage. Otherwise, heavy cream >>> Cool Whip

At the end of the day, though, rule #1 is some pie is usually better than none, even with CW.

jdub

11:16am

That’s the thing. Some of us need a low entry point, but will move to more home-made, mess-up-able ingredients as we

Absolutely

jdub

No doubt homemade whipping cream tastes better than Cool Whip.

I tried the Kroger brand (Smith’s ) refrigerated crust. It was better than Pillsbury IMHO

jollaksentie

I may have to try them. Costco had a sale on Pillsbury, so we're stocked up.

jdub

There are a lot of homemade pies worse than Marie Calendar's

This kind of insight keeps me coming back to CB. Especially about margarine!

#10. Cake is never better than pie. Unless it’s a very well made tres leches.

or its for your birthday and there are presents too.

Pangare

I actually get pie for my wife’s birthday. If it’s for a bunch of kids, they can have cake.

I agree with #8 but it's just too easy and quick. I am going to try making my own cookie crust this year. Never tried it

Baby steps. Progression is eternal 👊🏻

#7 is an eternal truth. Real whipped cream is ALWAYS better than CW.

Haven't tried the Pillsbury frozen crusts yet. I typically the Marie Callendar's ones and like them. So much quicker
