Salty pie dough

Is there anyway to repair salty pie dough? I stupidly thought I could wing it regular butter instead of unsalted, if I omitted the salt called for in the recipe. Wrong

I ended up having to do that with a previous pie crust, and it ended up turning out OK - did you try it and it was too salty?

the dough is salty, i havent baked it yet (tonight) this for an apple pie.

depending on what you plan on doing with the pie crust you could try undersalting the filling so the saltiness of crust compensates for the lack of salt in the filling. Other than that I know of no way to fix the crust itself.

There's often salt in apple pie filling, as well as many other sweet baked goods.

I agree that the salty crust might be fine with the sweet filling, so I'd bake as usual.

It may be fine as long as the filling is unsalted. Otherwise, the only way to really counteract it is to make another batch of dough, completely unsalted, and mix them together, and make two pies. Two pies! Oh, the humanity! ;)

I'm fairly sure I used regular butter instead of unsalted in my last pie crust and it worked just fine for apple pie.

I make pie crust wih salted butter all the time, never have given it a second thought. It is delicious and not particularly salty.

Based on the amount of salt in salted butter and the amount of butter in your average pie dough, I'd say you should be fine. The crust might be slightly saltier than normal, but that will just offset the sweetness of the apples. I'd just bake as normal.
