Cream Cheese Pie Crust

This is a wonderful pie crust for fruit pies. Rhubarb especially! The thing about this crust that is my favorite is that it is sturdy enough you don't need to roll it out, I just press it directly into the pie pan. Which also makes it great for kids to help when baking pies :)

I also make it using the dough hook in my Kitchen Aid mixer. This is enough to make two crusts, so if you don't need a top to your pie, freeze the leftover, or do what my Grandma always did, and make a nice cinnamon roll-up with it. Just flatten the extra crust, cover it in cinnamon and brown sugar. Roll it up tightly, place it on a cookie sheet and sprinkle granulated sugar over the top. Bake at 350° until it is golden brown, and slice into serving-sized pieces:

Otherwise, just make two pies!
