My Own Pie Crust

COOK TIME
22 Min

When they ask you what makes your pie taste so wonderful you'll be saying, "Why, it's My Own Pie Crust!" This easy shortbread-style pie crust has just a hint of cinnamon flavor, and it's just waiting to be filled with yummy goodness!

What You'll Need

  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 2 tablespoon cold milk

What to Do

  1. If planning to use this as a pre-baked shell, preheat the oven to 425 degree F.
     
  2. In a 9-inch pie plate, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil and milk and pour over the flour mixture. Using a fork, mix until the dry ingredients are completely moistened. Using your fingers, press the dough evenly over the bottom and up the sides of the plate, partly covering the rim.
     
  3. To use as a baked shell, prick the dough all over with a fork and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until set, then cool and fill as desired.
     
  4. To use as an unbaked shell, fill with the desired pie filling and bake according to the pie filling directions.
