Easy as Pie?

My mom gave me a rolling pin for a wedding present. The last time I made a pie crust? Never. I make my Grandma's pecan pie every year at Thanksgiving and Christmas. But sadly, I always buy the crust. I'm really more of a cake baker, but it's time for a change. With the ingredients below, at least I'll look the part. I think my favorite item is the bake by number pie dish... Or is it the sweet apron. Do you make your own pie crusts? Have you ever had pie in a mason jar?

  3. I have a great pie crust recipe, but it isn't something you can screw up. It's basically crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Mmmm. You mix it up and then press it into a glass pie pan (tin? can you have a glass tin?) I guess it is pie plate. Anyway, then I believe you bake it for a few minutes. I haven't done it in a long time, but I used to make lemon pie fairly often, and beyond being time consuming, it isn't difficult.

    I also recommended using your rolling pin to roll out sugar cookies if you really want to play with dough. You just need a big enough cutting board and a lot of flour. Dough seems kinda scary, but can be lots of fun.
