This is a tip from my grandmother and great grandmother. When making a crust for a fruit pie, no matter what your recipe, replace the iced water with iced orange juice.

It's not that exciting looking, really. It tastes good, though! The spices really make the pie special. Erika, this condensed milk pie was a really good recipe for kids. Which leads me to the crust... Kristin, I used a Mrs. Smith's frozen crust. I like to make homemade crusts when I have time, but I had this frozen crust lying around and wanted to get rid of it. Todd, who didn't know I used frozen crust, commented on how good the crust was. So if you are in a SUPER hurry, Mrs. Smith's makes a good frozen, pre-formed crust. And of course, you can't go wrong with the Pillsbury ready to roll crusts. My opinion is that it's better to just buy the crust rather than NOT make a pie at all because you are intimidated by the idea of making a crust. Carole, I didn’t take a picture of it.

I'm planning to have my grandmother give me a pie crust lesson when I go home for Thanksgiving, but if there's an especially good store-bought one for when you're short on time, I'd love to know which one!
