ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? CRISCO???? That stuff is almost, nearly plastic. I expected better from KA. The best shortening is good old fashioned lard. Not the stuff from Hormel, that is full of crap, just plain lard, home rendered stuff if you can or find some place to buy it. I do my own, it is very simple and easy. I make apple pie for office parties and I only get raves. Any honest dietician will tell you that some fat in your diet is needed, so the excuse that it is bad fat will not fly. Give up chips or something else that isn't that great and make your pie crust with lard.
