Heart healthy pie crust

8 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Unbleached flour
⅓ cup Olive oil
¼ cup Water -- ice cold

Directions

Preheat oven at 350. Prepare a 9" pie pan with cooking spray and flour. Place flour in a bowl and drizzle with oil. Use a pastry blender to evenly distribute the oil and produce a mixture the consistency of coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle on the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and continue mixing until you can gather the dough into a ball. Roll the dough into a 11" circle onto a floured surface.

Patch any cracks that may form, but otherwise try not to handle the dough more than necessary. Transfer the dough to a pie plate. Trim the dough, leaving a 1" overhang. Crimp the overhanging dough into a decorative edge. Chill the crust 20 minutes. Fill and bake according to your pie recipe directions.
