For my grandmother, Eva Koehler, this was what passed for "easy." For me, easy means opening the box and removing the sleeve, cutting the end and removing the roll of pie dough then un-rolling the dough and placing it in a greased 9" pan. Translations have been made where appropriate. This is one of a very few recipes in her book to actually have instructions. Most jus indicated ingredients (some had amounts).

    The secret to this is the fork. Use a fork with solid tines that do not flex and mix the ingredients by folding. It's surprisingly easy and yields a very flaky crust. Enjoy.
    I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
