You don’t have to make your own crust. But you can—even if you don’t think you can. It’s easy, it’s simple, and it’s the best crust ever. You can do it!
You can buy frozen pie crusts that are not bad.
But there’s a big difference between biting into a light, tasty, homemade crust and a store-bought crust, which will tend to be thicker and tougher.
I guess you can see my bias!
But once in a while, when you want to make a pie in a hurry, sure, buy a frozen crust.
