Hi Marcy! Vegetable shortening is Crisco. If you want to use oil, we'd recommend using a pie crust recipe that's designed to use oil such as our No-Roll Pie Crust. This type of crust is tender but not flaky. If we can help pick out a recipe for you, please give our Baker's Hotline a call at 855-371-BAKE (2253). Happy baking! Annabelle@KAF
