Sometimes, one simply can not wait until November to enjoy such goodness.Below are two super easy vintage pie crust recipes. These two recipes have been passed down to me from my Grandmother. Vintage recipes are typically made with fewer and more basic ingredients. Nothing beats a homemade pie crust. Pre-made crusts will work in a pinch, but it only takes a few minutes to whip up a delicious homemade crust.I prefer a rustic looking pie crust. I leave my edges longer in some places and embrace the lumps! If you prefer a more uniform look, you can trim off the excess dough and press the edges with a fork.
