So much attention is paid to the texture of a piecrust that I find people tend to overlook the flavor. Adding just a bit of citrus zest gives an unexpected burst of sunshine to each bite, one that works particularly well with fillings such as apple, lemon meringue, or pecan. Make sure you’re using organic fruit, and finely grate only the surface of the peel, avoiding the bitter, white pith.
