What kind of pie is it and what does the recipe say to do with the crust? I'm more familiar with press in graham cracker or cookie-based crusts in he bottom of a springform, not roll-out types. Let us know and we'll figure something out!

It seems like I could just smush the two crusts into a ball and roll them out to the required size. What do you think and thanks so so much!

Yes that should work I think -- just be sure to chill it well after rolling, before filling and baking. And we love rolling dough between 2 floured sheets of plastic wrap -- it helps with sticking and tearing. One last question: to make your life even easier, could you just use the crusts as is, split the fruit filling between the two, and maybe double the crumb topping to spread across 2 pies? Nobody would need to know it was supposed to be deep dish!

I like that plan B, so I think I'll do it that way! The recipe made a huge amount of topping so I might even be ok without doubling it...I'll let you know how the "pies" come out and thanks sooooo much!
