Adora's Easy Pie Crust

My cousin Adora's easy pie crust recipe changed my pie baking from disastrous to successful.

Here is a picture of my cousin Adora traveling in China. So now you have seen a picture of the lady behind the worlds best crust and the mom of my second cousin, Kari of karipearls.com Check out Kari's lavender pearls here.

Whether you are in Norway or somewhere else in the world, baking well is a good thing.

The first time I made apple pie, I followed some other recipe and did a lot of guessing and it was a complete disaster. I had flour all over the kitchen and I was very frustrated and discouraged.

I also didn't know what to put into the filling other than apples. I even added cream to make it "extra" good. I sprinkled a lot of sugar and cinnamon on the apples, but what I made was not really an apple pie. We still have not figured out what I made.

This recipe can be used for chicken potpies as well as for making quiche.
