Spelt Pie Crust
This whole-grain pie dough is not only very easy to work with, but also has a hearty and well-rounded flavor perfect for most any pie. Spelt flour pie crusts are more crumbly than flaky, but also more nuanced in flavor. Additionally, they are sturdy, so it holds up to a heavier pie filling such as a cream pie or a fruit pie. Plus, there is no chilling time needed for this dough which makes it a great option for quick pies.
