I use Peg Bracken’s no fail pie crust recipe. My mother gave me that book about 40 years ago.

I’ll have to look it up - I like Peg Bracken very much. She slims down the recipes more than Ina Garten does.

My go to recipe for pie: 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 stick of butter, very cold, diced. Blitz it and then add ice water till it comes together. Stick in refrigerator for an hour or freeze until used. Makes only one disk, you can double it or just make a second one after cleaning the mixer. Crust is in the fridge, apples are in a bag under the door.

I’m trying to make turkey gravy this year. I found lots of turkey parts down here (could never find them in my old home) and so will roast them for the fat today.

I’m making an apple pie this year for dessert.
