What makes this the "best" pie recipe is what's missing from the ingredient list: food additives. This pie crust has only FIVE pesticide-free ingredients.
No food additives are needed when we cook in our home kitchen. However, the evidence is mounting regarding the harmful effects of food additives on our health over time. Store-bought pastries are especially chock-full of food additives. Based on independent research by scientists at the Environmental Working Group, some food additives commonly found in baked goods are among the least safe for human consumption.
Fill your pie with pesticide-free fruit in season, purchased at your local farmers' market or organic/pesticide-free farm stands. Find your filling recipe, like the Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble recipe I include in my book EAT LESS WATER.
Makes two pie crusts. Or one pie with a lattice pie crust

The most far-reaching, effective water-saving strategy is to EAT LESS OF IT. Did you know you eat, on average, between 500-1300 gallons of water each day? This is water embedded in your food, called the water footprint. Water experts predict half the world will not have enough water by 2030; already true for 1 billion people. Future wars are expected to be fought over water, causing death and destruction. The good news is that because 70% of our planet's finite supply of freshwater flows to grow food, you and I can rewrite the water story, and it begins with your next meal.
