freezing pie dough

true story: i had an irrational fear of making pie dough. It seemed too hard, too easy to mess up. Then I tried the recipe from “Salt Fat Acid Heat”, made my first ever homemade apple pie, and was convinced that pie dough is EASY and enjoyable. I just needed Samin’s kind instructions to build my confidence.

This summer has been the summer of CSA quiche. I’ve been making batches of pie dough from SFAH and freezing the discs for quick dinners. Last night was a quiche with prosciutto, sweet corn, sweet peppers, and roasted squash, topped with kale pesto. We’re going apple picking later this week and I’m planning to make us a big old apple pie with the All Butter Pie Dough from the freezer!
