If you’re afraid of making pie crust at home, it’s possible because you’ve been told all your life not to use too much water. Here’s a secret for you: enough cold water to give the dough coherence will save your sanity without hurting the flavor of the dish. Don’t be afraid to add an extra tablespoon or two if needed.
Looking for a nutritious filling? Spiced and lightly sweetened apples are a perennial favorite, of course, but we especially love this Vegetarian Pot Pie.
