Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees and place the baking sheet on the middle rack. Lightly grease the pie pan with oil. Mix all pie ingredients in a bowl and transfer into the pan, pressing the dough evenly across the surface. Bake until a crisp crust forms, for 12 to 15 minutes, then cool to room temperature, about 45 minutes.
