I'm not good at crusts either. But a few years back DH decided he was going to tackle it "just like my aunt used to make." He got pretty good but had to give it up when both our cholesterol levels were too high.
I think it's not so much the recipe as the technique. I know you don't want' to handle pie dough too much. Also, my Mom said lard made the best crusts, although it's one of the worst things healthwise. And I've heard ice water for the liquid. Try doing an internet search. Maybe there's a video or some other kind of tutorial.
Now you've got me hungry for a good homemade pie!
