Dessert / Pies: Aunt Alvina's Apple Pie with Wesson Oil Pie Crust and Streusel Topping

From Mary Carey

Ingredients
For 1 Single Pie Crust
1-1/3 cup sifted all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup Wesson Oil (I use Puritan Oil)
3 Tablespoons cold whole milk
Filling
1 can apple pie filling (or filling of your choice)
Streusel topping
1/3 cup margarine (not really soft)
¾ cup flour
½ cup sugar

Directions
Preheat oven to 475 degrees or as directed in pie filling recipe.

For pie crust, mix flour & salt. Pour oil and milk without stirring into a measuring cup. Add all at once to flour. Stir until mixed.

Put drops of water on counter. Place a large piece of wax paper on the counter (the wax paper holds the paper in one place). Press dough into a smooth ball. Flatten slightly and add another piece of wax paper on top. Roll the dough out between wax paper sheets. Put in pie pan, flute edges and prick thoroughly with fork. Bake 8-10 minutes. Cool. Add filling.

OR: For some pies, the filling & crust are baked together. Then, do not prick pastry before filling. For an apple pie, you would put the pastry in a pie pan, add a can of apple pie filling and then add the streusel topping.

To make streusel topping, add the following to a small bowl and mix: 1/3 cup margarine, ¾ cup flour, ½ cup sugar. It will be lumpy. Spread across the apple pie filling.

Bake pie covered with streusel in 450 degree oven for 10 minutes; then, turn oven down to 350 degrees and bake for 30 minutes.
