Morphology
The meaning 'a layer of pastry used as the base and/or top of a pie' is directly derivable from combining 'pie' (the baked dish) and 'crust' (the outer pastry), so the compound denotes the crust belonging to a pie. This is a straightforward, compositional noun–noun compound common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Pie crust comes from the simple picture of a thin pastry crust that covers a pie and holds its 'filling'. That's why it means the pastry layer that forms the base and sometimes the top of a pie.
