With all due respect to pumpkin spice and apple lovers, fall has always been the season of pie for me. After all, pumpkin and apples are all supporting members to the lead role that is a warm, delicious pie, and no Thanksgiving dinner would be complete without a slice of hearty pie.

Yet, it's not always easy to make pie from scratch, especially if you want to achieve a perfectly buttery, flaky, and layered crust (no soggy pie bottoms here!). You'll need a rolling pin, a baking dish that withstands temperature shock, a great mixing bowl for incorporating your ingredients—and even if you're just an occasional pie baker, you'll want to add Oxo's reusable silicone dough-rolling bag to your arsenal of baking tools, according to reviewers. It has "made the job so much easier and taken all the guesswork out" of making pies, and you can get it at Amazon for just $16.

To use the dough-rolling bag, all you have to do is place your ready-to-bake pie pastry into the bag, zip it up, then roll it out to the size you want. The dough-rolling bag comes with incredibly convenient measurements from 6 inches to 12 inches (the bag even has equivalent metric measurements), and is dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.

The bag is already naturally nonstick thanks to its silicone material, but you can lightly dust it with flour before rolling out your pie crust to minimize sticking. Shoppers say the bag actually makes rolling out pie crust completely mess-free. "I've been making homemade pizza and pie crust for several years and rolling it out on a breadboard with a wood rolling pin and usually had a mess to clean up afterward," one shopper wrote. "I highly recommend this product as now I don't have a big mess when rolling out pizza or pie crust."

Oxo's bag can be used for more than just pie crust: Pizza, cookie, and bread dough that you want to get perfectly round can all be rolled out in the handy guiding bag. In fact, a shopper said "rolling out pizza dough couldn't be easier" thanks to Oxo's bag, adding, "these really make rolling out pizza dough so simple. Just sprinkle with flour, put a lump of room-temperature risen dough in, sprinkle the top with flour, zip close, and roll. Once it's in the bag all you have to do is roll from the middle outwards, turn, and flip. I wish I'd found these sooner!"

It's "a must-have if you make pies," wrote a reviewer who said it's "a necessity in any kitchen," and another added that it has helped them master pie-making. It'll surely come in handy this Thanksgiving when you want to impress your friends and family with a gorgeous, perfectly crimped pie, so shop it at Amazon below.
