Easy Whole Wheat Pie Crust

Unlike many bakers, I've never had a dread of making pie crusts. I owe the credit for that to a recipe that my mother taught me to make when I was a young girl. She in turn got it in her junior high cooking class. Of course I've tweaked it just a bit!

Using oil instead of shortening or butter makes this recipe extremely simple to mix up, but it's both healthier than the average pie crust and tasty too! It's my go-to recipe for all pies except those requiring a cookie crust. Changes that I have made are the introduction of wheat flour, using skim milk and substituting canola oil for the original vegetable oil. Try it for your next pie....you'll be glad you did!
