Oh, the crust. That flaky, buttery vessel of happiness. It’s mostly flour, butter, and maybe a pinch of salt. That means refined carbs and more saturated fat. Not exactly a superfood.
A typical homemade crust uses at least half a cup of butter. That’s about 800 calories just in the crust for the whole pie. Divide that by eight slices, and you’re looking at 100 extra calories per slice. Worth it? You tell me.
Store-bought crusts often have trans fats (the really bad kind). So if you’re worried, make your own. Or, you know, just eat the filling with a spoon and skip the crust entirely. No judgment.
