Lea found this wonderfully delicious pie dough recipe in an old church cookbook years ago.  It is, by far, the best pie crust we have ever had. It is very easy to make, and it never fails to please. In the photo, left, one of our grandsons would cut the second ball of dough into strips, to lattice the pie. We always enjoyed having the grandsons in the kitchen with us, and they gained an appreciation for what it takes to prepare food.
