I have been baking pies for about 40 years and always use at least
1 Tbsp more water than the crust recipe calls for, otherwise I get
cracking also when I roll out the dough.

It's not realistic to expect it to come out right the first time,
'cause this is one item that it takes a lot of practice to know just
how to do it -- 'cause it depends on a lot of variables. You can use
the exact measurements every time, and sometimes it just doesn't work.
There are times when it will need more moisture, and other times when
it will need a bit less. Trial and error. If you keep at it, you'll
figure it out eventually.

norvin, thanks for this. made a great pie today for all! Peaches,

Peaches are very good, in a couple weeks I will buy 30-40 lbs of
peaches, and make peach cobbler and put in the freezer for the long
winter ahead.
