Homemade Amazing Buttery Pie Crust

Hi friends! This recipe has been requested since the beginning of I Heart Recipes. I apologize for just now answering.

Many of you have tried my Peach Cobbler and Sweet Potato Pie recipes, but I’ve always used store-bought crust to help cut down the time of the recipe.  With the holidays coming, I simply can’t deprive my viewers of a  Homemade Amazing Buttery Pie Crust. Sure, you can definitely continue to use the store bought crust (I won’t lie, I love the stuff!), but if you want those pies to stick out and shame the competition, you are going to need this recipe in your life!

Don’t worry about how hard it’s going to be, because it’s easy as heck. The only hard part is waiting for it to chill while it sits in the refrigerator. I’m even going to show you a simple method to “dress up” those pie edges.
