This is a recipe I got from my friend, Doug Bush, organ chair at Brigham Young University and amateur pie baker. This recipe will cradle and cover 1 9" pie. For a larger, deep-dish pie, I increase the recipe by 1½ to 1 cup more flour and the other ingredients correspondingly. The techniques are largely his, though over the years, I've gone my own way on some things.
