If you aren't using a homemade pie dough, I love using Pillsbury pie crusts and always keep some in the coldest part of my fridge. I find they not only taste good, but they don't get all broken like the usual frozen pie dough plates. You can also let the Pillsbury pie crusts warm up a bit, and when you roll them out, they don't crack, and you can roll them out to make them larger as needed.
