Taggin' on to Becca here, I think those look wonderful! As to store bought
pie crust, I have been doing that for years. I have tried every recipe for
pie crust and just don't have the knack for them. I would make one standing
right next to my grandmother, do the same things and mine never turned out.
She finally told me that sometimes you are good at one thing and not so good
at others. She told me I bake wonderful cakes and cookies from scratch, and
just go with the 'boughten' crust. Works for me...
