This easy pie dough recipe makes 2 portions, think a top and a bottom crust. This is a great recipe for two reasons. First, make it once and you will absolutely want to make it again. You can use the leftover dough to make hand pies or small individual pies and you won't have to tell anyone. If you want to make savory pies or for pies other than dessert, omit the sugar. This dough can be made in advance and refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen for a month.
