pie crusts

Flaky filling holders

Pie crusts is the plural of pie crust—the pastry shell that forms the base and sometimes the top of a pie.

Crusts vary from flaky butter-based pastry to crumbly graham cracker preparations.

A good pie crust is prized in baking: Her pie crusts are always perfectly golden.

The phrase also appears in discussions of technique: I've never mastered pie crusts.
