Use either a 'pure' olive oil, not an extra virgin. By 'pure' I mean one that is from a later pressing so it should be more yellow in colour, not the greenish tint of the extra virgin. The extra virgin will make the crust very wet and also introduce a stronger olive oil flavour. I personally use a sunflower now more than olive oil because of it's lack of flavour and its much cheaper than the olive oil. Sunflower is a great oil! Don’t use canola oil.

My heart doctor said if I ever need to use oil for anything to use canola oil instead. I use extra virgin olive oil for small things since it has more fat & things in it. Let us know what you saw & where on TV please. Thanks! I don't know what is unhealthy about canola oil but I wish I know what show you saw it on.

My husband adores apple pie, and since we both need to watch our cholesterol intake, I don't make it as often as he would like. I'll definitely try this. Thanks! I love the canola oil idea.

For a two-crust pie, I mix two cups flour with 1/2 tsp. salt, then mix 1/2 cup canola oil with about 5 T. cold water. Add the oil-water mixture to the flour and mix till just combined. This rolls out well without chilling, which is also a plus. I also use a canola crust and people always rave about it.
