The only thing I use olive oil for is making pizza dough or soap. ;)

Coconut oil is fantastic for pie crust dough, too. I am allergic to soy, I cannot use Crisco which is mainly soy. Palm oil shortening is foul. Lard and tallow are great for meat or savory pie crusts, but fruit or other sweet pies, they are not so great

We just finished off the last of some chocolate “hand” pies I made. The crust using coconut oil is flaky and tender, even if the pie needs to be refrigerated
