Made this crust in a traditional pie plate for my Grandma's birthday apple pie. It was the bomb! Beautiful flaky layers, almost like a puff pastry. Yum!! Normally I do the hot water pie crust (and if you haven't tried it, this is an official pie throw down challenge!!) but wanted something fancier. Thanks for the wonderful recipe and all the helpful pics. I'm never sure how big to leave the butter chunks, the pics def. help!! You guys are great! Hey, I've tried the hot water crust and had NO luck. Post the recipe, would you? I'd like to try it again. It makes a tender/sandy kind of crust rather than flaky, right? PJH
