This pie crust is--unfortunately--the only way I make pies. It's SO EASY and tastes so good with any kind of pie. Unfortunately, it's not so good for you... Any ideas on how to lighten it? The oil is such a major part of the recipe that I'm nervous to mess with it...
Anyway, also wanted to share the recipe in case others might enjoy it. If you've never made a pie before, this is the one to start out with. It's fool proof.
Hopefully I'll get some good ideas on how to lighten it, so I can enjoy more pies during apple season.
Toss 2c. flour with 3 Tb. sugar and a pinch of salt. Beat 2 Tb. milk and 2/3 c. cooking oil. Mix liquid with flour mixture and press into pie pan. Reserve any extra dough to sprinkle on top of fruit pies. For apple pie, bake at 375 for 50-60 minutes.
