YES, I HAVE MADE HOT WATER CRUST MANY TIMES. I MAKE ALMOST ALL OF MY PIES WITH HOT WATER AND HAVE WON THE STATE OF CONN. APPLE PIE CONTEST THREE TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. I ENTER MY APPLE PIES AT LOCAL FAIRS AND ALMOST ALWAYS I WILL WIN FIRST PRIZE. IT SOUNDS LIKE A CRAZY WAY TO MAKE A PIE CRUST, ESPECIALLY WHEN MOST DIRECTIONS TELL YOU TO HAVE EXTRA COLD BUTTER OR LARD. IT IS EASY TO MAKE AND ALMOST ALWAYS TURNS OUT A GOOD LOOKING PIE.
