A good pie crust can make all of the difference. Whether it is a tender flaky pastry that practically melts in your mouth or a buttery crumb crust that comes together in just a few minutes, the crust is what holds all of that delicious filling together.

There are so many ways to make a pie crust your own. My great grandma’s lard pie crust is hard to beat when you want that classic old-fashioned flavor. But sometimes a chocolate crust is exactly what a creamy filling needs.
