Easy as Pie - Making the Perfect Pie


            The term "Easy as Pie" portrays that pie is an easy task to have at hand. Some may think pie can be as easy as buying a pre made crust, and a can of pie filling. These people do not know how to make real pie, they are mistaken. In my own experience, pie has proven to be harder than many other baked goods. Not only does one need to prepare the perfect pie crust from scratch, ignoring the pre made pie crusts that are offered in grocery stores, the home made crust is far more superior. One must also prepare the filling of the pie from scratch and not use the canned pie filling also offered in stores, these fillings will have an artificial taste that is not recommended for the perfect pie. After having my own great deal of pie making experience, it has been easy to break it down into simpler steps and make it easier for the beginners in pie making.
             One must prepare themselves for a trip to the grocery store, making a list may help, either in your own head or on paper. You will need ingredients to make a pie crust, the filling, and for the crumble topping also. The pie crust is simple, mostly flour and Crisco (shortening), once you arrive at the grocery store you will need to make your way to the baking isle. This isle will have almost all the items you will need, flour, sugar, shortening, and other baking items, even a 9 inch round pie pan if you have not owned one prior. After collecting all the items needed for your pie, you can now go to check out, buy the items, and then take your way of transportation back to the location you are preparing your pie.
             You will need a large bowl, larger than a cereal bowl at least, this will be to mix your pie crust dough in. You should measure everything on point so that the pie crust can have the perfect consistency when you roll it out for the pan. Add the flour, Crisco (shortening), vinegar, salt, and most importantly use cold water, I repeat, cold water.
