"So easy to make."
"I like it"
"I just made an apple pie and this crust recipe is the best! I used the Crisco butter stick shortening and the crust came out perfect. Everyone who had a slice complimented me on the crust."
"I used the butter flavored Crisco. The dough was delicious and flaky. I refigerated mine before rolling it out. It was easier to handle."
"This is so much like the one I've been making for 45 years that was passed down by my mother. It is a winner!"
"After MANY years of not making pie crusts and then trying recipe after recipe, I gave in and tried "just one more". This recipe made the search worth it. The crust was flaky, tender and delicious!"
