I have been making pies for over forty years and when my friend gave me the following recipe, I knew that I had found the best recipe for me. It is light and easy to handle.
2 cups all purpose flour
A pinch of salt
3 tbsp. sugar
1 cup butter ( she used margarine but I like butter)

Combine the above in a bowl.
Add 3 tbsp. of boiling water and mix until combined ( I used my kitchen aid mixer)

Usually, I put the dough in the fridge for ten minutes just to make it less sticky).
Roll the crust out on a well floured board, moving the crust around to keep it from sticking.
After you make the pie, bake for ten minutes at 420 before lowering to 375 to finish cooking. Enjoy and I hope this helps.
