Materials (Pie Crust):
4 cups of flour
1 cup of canola oil
10 tablespoons of water
12 half-pint mason jars

Materials (Pie Filling):
1/2 cup of white sugar
1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon of salt
6 cups of diced peeled tart apples (5 medium apples)
2 tablespoons of butter or margarine

Procedure:

  1. First the pie crust: Mix the canola oil and water in a medium bowl.
  2. Add and mix in the flour until completely combined.
  3. Pack small handfuls of crust into the bottom and sides mason jars, only up to the fill line, making sure that the crust does not get too thick.
  4. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  5. Now the filling: Mix the sugar, flour, cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl.
  6. Add the apples and mix well, until the apple slices are completely coated in the sugar mix.
  7. Scoop the apple mixture into the prepared jars of crust, until the apples just about fill the jar (further than the crust).
  8. Top each jar with a small amount of butter.
  9. I didn't do this, but I think I should have. Cover the jars with foil.
  10. Arrange the jars on a cookie sheet and cover the bottom of the sheet with about 1/4 inch of water, to prevent the jars from cracking in the oven.
  11. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
  12. Remove from the cookie sheet to allow them to cool.
  13. Enjoy!
