CHOCOLATE CHIP PIE
With Thanksgiving in a few weeks, you might still be looking for another delicious pie recipe to add to your Thanksgiving Dinner Table! This Tollhouse Pie Recipe is one of our family’s favorite Pie Recipes. I have also heard this pie called a Kentucky Derby Pie…but no matter what you call it…it’s pretty tasty!
This is a classic and if you love Chocolate Chip cookies, this is the pie for you. This is probably in my top 5 pie recipes.
HOMEMADE PIE CRUST
My very favorite pie recipe is my Grandmother’s Apple Pie Recipe. One of the best things about pie is the buttery, flaky pie crust. If you have not made your own pie crust before, you need to try my Pie Crust recipe. It is also my Grandmother’s recipe and it makes the perfect pie crust.
If you don’t have time, you can use a store bought pie crust. I personally don’t think they taste as good, but sometimes you are in a time crunch or just want a really convenient option…which is totally fine!
Perfect Pie Dough Recipe
Is Making Homemade Pie Crust Intimidating? We Teach You Step By Step How To Make Pie Crust With Our Perfect Pie Crust Recipe That Is Light And Flakey!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 cup Shortening Butter Flavored Crisco or Butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp Vinegar
- 1 Egg beat with a fork before adding to dough mixture
- 1/2 cup cold Water
Instructions
-
With a pastry cutter, cut the Flour, Butter and Salt together. This step is an important one. Be sure to cut it together well. You will not want to mix the dough much after this step so that you have a nice flakey crust. Handling the dough to much will result in a less flakey pie crust.
-
Beat the Egg before adding it to the dough mixture.
-
Add the Vinegar and cold water and then mix together with your clean hands just enough to combine. It should still be lumpy.
-
Separate the dough into 4 equal sized balls. Set 3 aside.
-
Flour a smooth flat surface and your rolling pin.
-
Roll out pie dough into a very thin round pie crust. I like to roll it out onto a sheet of wax or parchment paper with some sprinkled flour. If you have trouble with the pie dough sticking to your roller, dust it with more flour.
-
You can also add another sheet of wax paper on top of the dough and roll out your crust between the layers of wax paper.
-
Flip the pie dough over a 9 inch pie plate and carefully peel away the parchment paper.
-
Gently place the pie dough into the pie dish.
-
Take a knife and cut away the excess pie dough along the edge of the pie plate.
-
Flute the edges of the pie crust by pinching it together with your fingers. There are many different ways to do this. Experiment and find one that works for you!
-
If you are baking a pie shell you will need to poke some holes into the pie crust with a fork.
-
Line the pie with parchment paper and fill with some dry beans to weigh down the pie crust so that it holds it's shape while baking.
-
Bake for 10-15 minutes in a 375 degree oven.
