Apple Pie with Oil Pie Crust

Step 1

In a mixing bowl combine the flour and salt.

Step 2

Add the oil and 2 tablespoons of the water. Mix until combined and forms a ball.

Step 3

Add additional tablespoon of water, or as needed, if dry and crumbly.

Step 4

Wrap in plastic wrap until ready to use.

Step 5

Makes 1 double crust 9-inch pie.

Step 6

Split dough in half and wrap the piece you are not working with in plastic until ready to use.

Step 7

Roll dough into 10-inch circle between two pieces of waxed paper so the dough doesn't stick to the surface or rolling pin.

Step 8

Remove the top piece of waxed paper and use the bottom as a support to lay the crust into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan.

Step 9

Peel and core apples. Slice into ½ – ¾ inch slices (about 12 per apple depending on size of apples). Pile apples into crust. Top evenly with sugar, sprinkle with cinnamon and dot with butter.

Step 10

Roll out remaining half of dough into approximately 12-inch diameter.Place on top of pie and pinch edges to seal. With a knife, slice a few holes inthe top to allow steam to escape.

Step 11

Place pie into preheated oven and put a foil-lined cookie sheet or dish under pie to catch drippings. The juices will start to drip, then drip steadily and finally slow down. This is when the pie is done.

Step 12

Allow to cool before slicing. Serve with ice cream, if desired.
