One-Minute Apple Pie

Talk about a quickfire challenge!

Vimeo user Animi recently posted this short stop-motion movie on making an apple pie. The video certainly is fun, set to the music of Dave Brubeck. But what we found curious was the method for making pie crust.

Do you make a cylinder of dough to create the sides of your pie dough? Let us know in the comments below.

I don't fully use the cylinder technique, but I do trim the excess off the edges and roll it into a long strand of dough that I use the re-enforce the side/bottom junction so that slices of pie can be self supporting. Nothing worse than a slice of pumpkin pie that you can't pick up and eat without a plate.

I have never used a cylinder of dough, although I think I'll try it. It looked to me like the woman was cooking the apples on the stove. Seems like that might be a good idea if one were in a hurry. Do any of you do that? Have any of you tried this pie? I'd love to know the results.
