Can Milk Street Single-Crust Pie Dough Be Used for Regular Pies

Asked Mar 04, 2021 by Esther B.

I would like to try this recipe. Does it have to be par baked or can I use it for a fill and bake pie such as a regular pumpkin pie or a double crust apple pie? Thank you!

    I have the same question!

    You didn't answer the question. The question is about par baking, not doubling.

      Hi Amy - I'm so sorry! I saw that Esther asked about a double-crust pie, which would involve doubling the dough, so I answered that question and missed the par-baking part. This crust was intended, and only tested, for tarts in which the crust would be par-baked. Best, Lynn C.

    I use it the same as pie dough. I use it to make pumpkin pie, pecan pie and chicken pot pie. I get an 8oz container of sour cream and make 6 single crust pie doughs which I keep in the freezer.
