How to Make Simple Double Pie Crust

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
  2. Cut in shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ice water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  4. Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer to a 9-inch pie plate.
  6. Trim and crimp the edges. Add your favorite pie filling.
  7. Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal.
  8. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  9. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
