So, two-fold question here: What's your favorite pie, and what is your favorite pie crust recipe?

Once upon a time I used a variation of the BH&G pie crust, but after having some issues, I moved on to pâte brisée ( www.epicurious.com/tools/fooddictionary/entry?id=3853 ) and stayed there. I love the way a butter crust performs and I find that I have less to repair - if anything at all - after rolling.

As for my favorite pie - that's my own apple pie - can't live without it!

Pate sucree, pate brisee and pate brisee with egg. I enjoy these because they are prepared with butter. Having said this, I am about to prepare a pie crust using Crisco shortening and butter. I'll let you know how it turns out.

puff pastry, anything cookie crumb related. I cant make a pie crust for anything. I am not a pastry chef and it shows. Oh and the pasty crust si going to be fried pies by the end of the week I am sure. Bekka likes that crust and is woeking on finding how far you can go with it.

I would have to split my favorite between REAL Lemon Meringue pie and chocolate/peanut butter pie.

So, I tend to like crumb crusts best and they're easy: crumbs and butter.

Somewhere or other I have Mama's pie crust recipe but haven't made a pie calling for a pastry crust in so long not even sure where it is at the moment.
