I had the same thought about using my regular pie crust instead of the prescribed one. But since we are to follow it exactly I did. My family agreed that they liked mine better, but that the one for the recipe wasn't bad. It handled very well for a sweet dough. I really appreciate seeing your recipe in grams. It's smaller, right? When I made the pie I had lots of dough left and I made a small tart crust that is just waiting for lemon filling. Your pie looks very yummy.
