I looked through many of the comments, and I use shortening with a tsp. of vinegar added to the egg & water mixture. Works like a charm! Makes a delicious crust that's soft but still holds up to my apple pie. I'm telling you the secret weapon to a good crust is vinegar. The dough will be a bit sticky, add some flour to your work area. Make sure not to overwork the dough, it's a crowd pleaser.
