Piedoodles
Ok yes, the title is silly, but since my mother never named this dessert, it's what I call it. My mom always made "alittle extra" pie dough and she made this for us kids as a treat, especially when the pie she was making was for church or a pot luck. I have made this several times just as she has with just "alittle extra" pie dough for my kids, but I have given this dessert a name. This is one of the fastest, inexpensive & simplest kid friendly desserts you can make. This dessert is really yummy plus easy and quick to make in a pinch. I guarantee you will have all the ingrediants on hand at any given time to make this.

Simple Pie Dough recipe
2cups flour
2/3 Cup shortening( I like to use Crisco butter flavor sticks)
2Tablespoons butter
4Tablespoons ice cold water( i like to put mine in the freezer for a few mintues)
Mix flour, shortening and butter in a mixer or by hand until it is crumbly pea size bits
Slowly add 1 tablespoon of water at a time making sure to scrap the sides of the bowl to get everything incorporated.
Once everything is mixed and dough starts to form, take dough mixture to floured mat or or non stick surface and hand mix until ball is formed.( I like to use my Wilton Fondant mat)
Don't over handle the pie dough. If you do, wrap the dough in plastic wrap after you formed it into a ball and place in the fridge for a few mintues
Using rolling pin, roll out the pie dough

Resist the urge to eat right away even though your kitchen now smells yummy sweet. I promise you, you will burn your tongue.
