Best Readymade Pie Crust

With the holidays here (hello!) and family in town, you don’t want to spend all your time in the kitchen! To help with a few shortcuts, Good Housekeeping’s Taste Test Kitchen released its recommended readymade pie crusts. Here are the top three:

1. Wholly Wholesome Organic Traditional 9″ Pie Shells: Flaky and buttery just like Grandma’s. We found it at Whole Foods.

2. JIFFY Pie Crust Mix: Perfectly crumbly with just the right combo of salty and sweet—one box makes two crusts! We found this at our local grocery.

3. Pillsbury® Pet-Ritz® Frozen Pie Crusts: Sweet and moist. Great for desserts, but maybe not the best for savory fillings. We found this at our local Target.
