*The photo below shows a trick my mother in law taught me for an easy way to get your rolled out crust from the counter to your pie plate. Just roll it up on your rolling pin and unroll it onto your pie plate!

Notes: Came across this recipe after years of using Betty Crocker's since I'm usually making several pies or a large batch of “snails” with my pies! Rolls out well and makes a nice flaky crust.
As a child our mom (Mary Thomas) used to give us kids the pie crust scraps to “create” with a little jam or sugar and cinnamon as her mom (Kate Reynolds) did with her. I think we called them scrappy do's? I started doing them cinnamon roll style years ago and John started calling them "snails". I slowly perfected and then started having to make extra crust instead of just using my scraps!
