Notes
This recipe is made for a deep-dish pie, with crust pushed up the sides or springform pan. It makes a thick pie crust. If you're making a standard pie without pushing the crust up the sides, then cut this recipe in half. We prefer having more to play around with to ensure we get an even, thick crust.
Some recipes call for crust up the side and some do not. You may have extra crust left over.
Cut this recipe in half if you're making one standard pie.
