directions

  • In medium bowl, stir together 2 cups flour, 1/2 cup quick cooking oats, and 1 teaspoon salt. Using pastry blender, cut in 2/3 cup shortening until pieces are pea-size.
  • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon water over part of mixture; gently toss with fork. Push moistened dough to side of bowl. Repeat, using 1 tablespoon water at a time, until all dough is moistened. (You will need 8 to 10 tablespoons total water.)
  • Divide in half; form each half into a ball. On lightly floured surface, flatten 1 dough ball. Roll from center to edge into 12-inch circle. To transfer pastry, wrap around rolling pin; unroll into a 9-inch pie plate, being careful not to stretch pastry. Trim pastry even with rim of pie plate. Fill pie plate with filling.
  • On lightly floured surface roll remaining dough into 14-inch circle; cut slits for stream to escape. Place on top of fruit filling; trim to 1/2 inch beyond edge of pie plate. Fold top crust under bottom crust; crimp edge.
  • Makes pastry for 2-crust pie, or two 1-crust pies.

<p>I am a 'Zaar addict. I spent SO many hours browsing and researching recipes. I love to bake and I love the fact that I can find -any- recipe here (who needs a cookbook?. I do cakes as a small side business -- wedding cakes being my fav. I used to teach cake decorating classes, but I am taking a break right now because I was feeling super crazy busy. I have recently lost 35 pounds through Weight Watchers (such an awesome program, so I am always looking for ways to lighten up recipes so that those 35 pounds -stay- off.</p>
