Don’t let the simplicity of this recipe fool you—the crust is tender and delicious. It’s my go-to recipe for blind baking pies as shrinkage is minimal, and it comes together in minutes. No messy, flour-dusted countertop. And the little ones love pressing the blobs of dough into the pie plate. Fun for everyone!

No Roll Pastry Crust
This quick and easy piecrust is practically foolproof. No need to haul out the food processor—just melt the butter and stir. You can leave your rolling pin in the drawer, too. Simply press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of your pie tin.
