I've put chips in already. souns good, i'll have to try it when the gang comes in!! cooking time is approx 50 min. @ 350, check to see if center is set like a cake and utensile comes out clean dough recipe: 2 crusts 2 1/4 c. all purpose flour, 3/4 ts. salt , 1/2 c chilled shortening, I used crisco butter shortening, 2 tbs. chilled butter or margarine ( put them in the freezer for 5 or so min to get real chilled), 5-6 tbs. cold water, I added tsp. baking power, 1/3 c. splenda/sugar, and for added taste/color several shakes of cinnamom. I do that for all my pie crusts. a stand mixer works great, otherwise get the utensile that helps fold in flour with the shortening,if not availabel your hands will work, flour them up so not to stick as much. combine / stir all dry ingredients, cut butter/short. into little chunks and add to flour. work together then add 1 tbs. of water untill flour forms into a ball. it should feel moist cut into two balls , plastic wrap for 15+ min to chill, you can freeze the 2nd one for a few months, just wrap tight. godd luck,let me know if you try it. dad gansie I’ll have to add some more pb / chips next time. it did taste good,usually I like my cooking, great when others do too,can’t worrry if they don’t. how would pb taste with cheese pie / pumkin pie??
