Pillsbury Pet-Ritz Deep Dish Pie Crusts
What it is
This product contains two pre-made, deep-dish pie crusts. They are designed for convenience, saving time and effort in the kitchen. Each crust is ready to be filled and baked, making it easier to prepare homemade pies. The deep-dish size allows for more filling, perfect for generous servings. They are made from a flaky pastry dough.
How people cook with it
These crusts are a versatile base for both sweet and savory pies. They simplify the process of creating classic desserts and main courses.
- Sweet fruit pies
- Savory quiches
- Cream-filled desserts

To use, simply unroll one crust and press it gently into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Add your desired filling, whether it's a sweet fruit mixture, a creamy custard, or a savory egg and vegetable blend. If using a double-crust pie, place the second crust over the filling and crimp the edges to seal. Bake according to your pie recipe's instructions, ensuring the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. For best results, follow the specific baking temperatures and times recommended for your pie.

Compared to standard pie crusts, these are specifically made for deep-dish pies. This means they are larger in diameter and have a greater depth, accommodating more filling. The dough is formulated to be flaky and tender, providing a good base for various pie fillings.
