This is a real food, no-fail staple that can be made with spelt, whole wheat, or sprouted wheat. When using sprouted wheat, you may need to add more water to make the desired consistency. I like to make pie crusts ahead of time and freeze them. This recipe makes one crust and lattice for the top. Doubling the recipe will give you three crusts.

Steps:
- 1. Make a cup or so of ice water with a dash of vinegar added (I prefer Bragg's vinegar, but any will do).

- 4. Sprinkle in 1 Tablespoon of water at a time and gently mix with a fork. Repeat until all is mixed and forms a ball.

- 6. Between two sheets of wax paper (floured slightly if needed), flatten ball with a rolling pin to desired thickness.
- 7. Peel off one side of the wax paper, transfer to a pie plate, and peel off the other side of the wax paper.
- 8. Trim and crimp edges.
- 9. Freeze or cook as pie recipe indicates.
