Homemade pie crust

Dorothy was asked to illustrate a favorite recipe and she chose her homemade pie crust. I stood a the ready with a camera as she made and rolled the dough before placing it into the pie plate. Then, as you can see, she added the rhubarb filling and covered the pie. She added a personal touch with the top design. Then it went into the oven to bake and came out looking fantastic.
