Instructions

  1. Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle that's slightly larger than a standard 10-inch pie dish.
  2. Lift the rolled-out dough and gently place it into the pie dish, making sure it fits snugly all over the base.
  3. Use scissors or a knife to trim any excessive overhang, but leave about 1 inch of dough hanging over the edges.
  4. Gently press the dough with your thumb and index finger of one hand from the outside to form a V shape. Then use your thumb and index finger from your other hand to press the inside of the V shape from the inside. This forms the point of the V shape for both sides of the crust.
  5. Begin at one end and work your way around the entire pie dough.
  6. Refrigerate or freeze for 15-30 minutes while preparing your desired filling. This will help to prevent the pie dough from shrinking when you bake it.
