Superbly easy, even a crust-phobe can manage this one. The edges may not look perfect, but it tastes just great!
yield: 1 9-inch pie crust
1 cup flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
2 Tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
3 Tbsp cold butter
2 Tbsp shortening
4 Tbsp ice water
Cooking spray
1. Preheat oven to 400° .
2. Combine flours, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter and shortening until crumbly. Add ice water 1 Tbsp at a time, tossing with a fork between each addition.
3. Spray pie plate with cooking spray. Dump flour mixture into plate, pressing up the sides and then into the bottom. Pierce bottom with a fork. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes. Cool completely.

Have you used this with an apple pie? Do you think it would work with that type of pie?
Umm, it'd work for sure as a bottom crust. I'm not sure about a top crust...I never make pie with a top crust! I think if you just added a couple more tablespoons of butter or shortening to it and rolled it out it would work. No promises, though! =)
