My ex-mother-in-law made this pie crust all the time for every occasion. It looks like a lot of calories just for the crust, but this is supposed to make enough crust for THREE pies (9" pie shells). If you cut a pie into 8 pieces, that's about 273 calories a slice just for the shell, not including the topping. You might be able to get 12 or 16 skinny little pie slices, depending on topping. Or maybe experiment with using less shortening and more water/vinegar and perhaps another egg to reduce calories from shortening. That might be an interesting science project for another day. Otherwise, this close to Thanksgiving, I don't want to mess with tradition!

How Do I Make No Hassle Pie Crust?

Here is how you make No Hassle Pie Crust:

Cut shortening into flour and salt, until it looks like fine gravel. The water needs to be COLD!! (really, the egg and vinegar should also be cold). Combine water, egg, vinegar (can use white vinegar but I usually use the Bragg's NACV) and add all at once into the flour mixture. Stir with a fork until flour is all wet. Roll out quickly on pastry cloth or waxed paper. Transfer into pie plate. Cut edges off a bit past the edge of pie plate, so as to form whatever decorative pie shell edging you like to use (fork pressed in, or the pinched finger "V" effect, etc.). Bake pie shell at 500 degrees F for 12 minutes or until brown. IF you are going to make a pie with a cooked filling, prick your pie shells first with a fork or tip of knife, etc, to prevent it from cracking and blowing up and making a mess. Makes three pie shells, using 9" pie, or if you have only 8" pie pans, then you'll have extra dough left over and can make a really pretty pie crust edging. This is in the "Dessert" category, because SparkPeople doesn't give you many choices like that, but we have also used this same crust recipe to use when making a quiche or chicken pot pie that type of thing.Serving Size: Three 9" pies, cut into 8 slices per pie (24 pieces) or could go smallerNumber of Servings: 24Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user PROVERBS31JULIA.
