  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2/3 cup cooking oil (I like to use Canola oil)

This recipe will make enough for:

  • 2 eight-inch two-crust pies (or)
  • 2 ten-inch one-crust pies (or)
  • 1 ten-inch two-crust pie with a generous crumble crust.


To make the crumble crust, use half of the mixture for the bottom crust and then add 1/4 cup brown sugar to the remainder and sprinkle on top of your pie filling.

For a baked pie shell, bake the crust at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until light brown.
