Pie Crust

When my sister was here recently, we made a peach pie with homemade pie crust. I've decided that homemade crust is FAR better than store bought and it costs way less to make it yourself. Plus, when you use your food processor it is super-duper easy!

Ingredients
1 1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter chilled and diced
1/4 c ice water

Place flour and salt in food processor. Pulse until mixed. Add butter to flour mixture and pulse until it forms coarse crumbles like this.


Add water very slowly (like, one tbsp at a time) while the processor is on. Add water until the pie crust forms a ball. It's so cool!


Roll out dough to about 1/4 inch. I like to bake my pie crust for about 5 minutes at 350 before filling it. This way I'm sure it won't be soggy. Then, fill and bake according to pie directions.

Ingredients for the crust
9 graham crackers
1/2 stick melted butter
2 tbsp sugar

Ingredients for the filling
6 oz pink lemonade concentrate (1/2 can)
1 small container Cool Whip
1 can sweetened condensed milk
Juice from one lime
Pink or red food coloring

Directions
Crush graham crackers until fine and mix with sugar. Stir in melted butter and press into bottom of 8x8 dish to form crust.

Mix together all filling ingredients with an electric mixer. (I tried to do it by hand and couldn't get it smooth enough.) Pour on top of crust. Cover and freeze for a few hours before serving. Be absolutely certain to lick all dirty spoons and bowls; you will not regret it :)
