This definitely. Pie crust is a pain in the arse.[/quote]

Completely agree and I don’t think homemade pie crust tastes much better than premade. Not worth the effort. [/quote]

I guess this is where I truly differ! This one is just practice and studying. I read a couple different recipes and after making like 3-4 pies in a month or two during the pandemic I had it figured out. And homemade is MUCH better than packaged. The last time I tried packaged it literally tasted like a cracker and had the texture of one too.

rolling it out is annoying and never looks as nice as packaged - that’s true! [/quote]

I agree, it tastes a lot better and it's not that hard (food processor is essential) but I can never roll it out into a good circle. I hate peeling and slicing all the apples more than dealing with crust. [/quote]

I make it with my hands and think that’s the essential part.  A food processor overworks the dough I feel like?  It’s really important not to incorporate the butter too much or it won’t be flaky.  I also think most people make the dough too dry and that is why they can’t roll it out.  It takes like 5 minutes tops and is always worth it to me!  I love pie.

My simple thing I always mess up are scrambled eggs.   They are always fine but never great.  It just seems like they should be better than they are and so Inam always sad I wasted the calories on them.[/quote]
