Grandma Harding's famous pie crust

I LOVE my Grandma Harding's pies. I love her Cherry Pie. But I've never really had to make it- cause she has always made it. This year I pulled out the recipe and tried!! 

It was so yummy. and surprisingly easy. I think I just expected something that good to be so hard. with that being said, I know I could use practice on these things.

 Love thanksgiving and pie.
