I love making pies...

One of the best equipment purchases I have made is our pie crust forming machine. We make our pie dough from scratch...no mix or ready-made crust is ever good enough.  We mix the dough and let it rest in the refrigerator over night. Then each dough ball is put in a pan and placed on the machine. At the pull of a lever it presses out a perfect crust.  The crusts are filled and for our fruit pies, a top crust is added. We seal with a crimper (shown below), but I like a hand pinched edge. So after a few pinches, it's ready for the oven. Beautiful!
