What it is

Pie crust is a pastry dough used as a base or casing for pies. It is typically made from flour, fat (such as butter, shortening, or lard), water, and salt. The dough is rolled out and then baked, either partially or fully, before or after being filled.

Why it's used

Pie crust provides a flaky, edible container for sweet or savory fillings. Manufacturers use it to create a wide variety of pies, tarts, and quiches. It is essential for holding ingredients together and contributing texture and flavor to the finished product.

Health notes

Pie crust is a food item, not an additive, and is not subject to FDA additive regulations. Its nutritional content depends on the ingredients used, particularly the type and amount of fat and flour. Consumption of pie crust contributes calories, carbohydrates, and fat to the diet. Health effects are generally related to overall dietary patterns and moderation.

Allergen info

Pie crust is typically made with wheat flour, which contains gluten. Wheat is one of the FDA's 9 major allergens. Gluten is not considered a major allergen by the FDA but is a common sensitivity.
