ORGANIC WHOLE WHEAT PIE CRUST
I played around with different recipes to find a whole wheat pie crust that wasn't dried out. This recipe, if done right is flaky and delicious. I use it for my apple pie and chicken pot pie alike. Careful not to overwork the dough, the more its handled or mixed, the dryer it will be.

- Press mixture into a ball, cover completely with plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350º. Cooking time will vary depending on what you're using it for.
- Roll dough on lightly floured surface.
- Makes top and bottom crust for a 9" pie or bottom only for a 13x9 sized dish for chicken pot pie or something of that sort.
