Step 2: Apply cooking spray on the bottom of a deep-dish pie plate.
Step 3: In a medium mixing bowl, add the egg, sugar, and butter. Beat until well mixed and creamy.
Step 4: Add the flour and knead to form a dough.
Step 5: Place the rolled-out dough into the prepared deep-dish pie plate. Make sure to cover the edges and the bottom.
