Directions
For Crust
- Preheat oven to 375℉.
- In a pie pan, combine the flour, sugar and salt. In a small bowl, combine the oil and milk then pour over the flour mixture. Use a fork or your hands to combine the wet and dry then press the mixture to evenly distribute across the pie pan.
- Flute the crust edge with a simple “v crimp” — push from the inside with your left thumb while you pinch on the outside with your right thumb and forefinger.
- Prebake the crust at 375℉ for just 6 minutes. This will lightly “set” the crust and keep it flaky.
For Filling
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- In a food processor, or with a large mixing bowl and immersion blender, combine all ingredients and purée until very smooth. It will be somewhat thick. Pour into pie crust and smooth over the top.
- Bake until filling is set and firm, about 50 minutes. (If your crust begins to brown, cover it with a foil collar.)
- Cool pie before serving. (It’s actually at its best after a night in the fridge.)
