So here's the short of it,
Inspired by my Mom. 

And here's the long.

So there's a new favorite recipe around here.  EASY. It doesn't have a name. 
Your favorite pie crust.  These days mine happen to be the store bought ones.  Aunt Joyce, I know yours will be the home made ones!

So here's the very easy how to.
 
1.  Roll the crust out onto a cookie sheet.  Mine always turn out perfectly round, but that doesn't matter at all! I also always use parchment paper.  It makes clean up so much easier.  And, I've found a brand of parchment paper that is precut! 

2. Use butter or margarine and brush the crust.  Or take the easy way, and get one of those spray margarine's and just give the whole thing a good spritzing. 

3. Then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar - or just sugar.  Then cook at 350 for 15 - 18 minutes or til its done to your taste.



Let it cool if you are going to store it.  If you just want to eat it, grab it hot if you want!
After it's good and cool store in an airtight container.  I just use a wide mouth large canning jar. It takes two batches to fill it all the way...and actually - you have to eat a few pieces - they won't all fit.



It probably keeps a lot longer than it lasts.  Maybe I should name it Crust in a Jar

I mentioned that this was inspired by Emily.  When we were growing up, Mom always made her pie crusts from "scratch".  Dad used to laugh about the new bride who went to the A&P grocery looking for a box of scratch.  Anyway, Mom always had a little bit of pie crust left over and she would often roll it out and sprinkle it with cinnamon sugar - of course there was always just a little, so true to economic principles, it was so good.
