This is a no roll, press in the pan crust, made with oil instead of shortening. It is very good and very easy. A good choice for when a top crust isn't necessary. Vegetable oil may be used instead of peanut oil.

This is a simple recipe with only three ingredients: flour, canola oil and ice water. And if you want to make your pie crust adventure even simpler, put all the ingredients in the food processor and pulse a few times. Then simply roll the dough between wax paper and fit into a waiting pie pan.
