DirectionsCombine ¾ cup all-purpose flour, white whole-wheat flour and ¼ teaspoon salt in a food processor. Pulse to mix. Add butter and oil; continue pulsing until the butter forms pebble-size pieces with the flour. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is evenly moist (but not wet) and is starting to clump together, being careful not to overmix. Pat the dough into a 5-inch disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Remove from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before rolling out.Preheat oven to 450°F.Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate. Add onion to the pan; cook, stirring until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add squash, apple and sage; cook, stirring, until the squash is just tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Remove the foil and continue baking until set and dry, 4 to 5 minutes more.Reduce oven temperature to 325°. Spread the vegetable mixture in the bottom of the hot crust, then pour the egg mixture over the top. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
