I didn't have shortening so I used butter. It was my first Apple Pie and the crust was a hit!

I have been making my own pie crusts for several years. I can pretty much do it myself, but I like to pull up a recipe to keep myself organized. I want to urge anybody who is making a pie crust to rethink this recipe. There is FAR too much shortening, which makes the resulting dough too greasy and difficult to work with. I recommend finding a recipe that calls for the appropriate one-third shortening to flour ratio instead. I have been an all-recipes member for years, and this is my first one star review.

This is a great, simple recipe. It turns out well every time and I bake alot. I've found that it works well for me if I mix in the water using my fingers. Thanks for the recipe!

This was a gooey, gloppy...mess. I thought it sounded like a lot of water but I was in a hurry and followed the recipe exactly. Then had to add about 50% more flour to make it workable. It has the consistency of dumplings, not pie crust.

I did not care for this recipe. Way too much shortening and salt. Even my regular pie crust doesn't have that much water in it. I was disappointed.

Loving the food processor idea, thanks! never touched my pastry cutter & less mess! I cut the recipe in half for use in bottom of a crisp, and used butter not shortening, and my mom's addage: add water 1 tablespoon at a time, you won't need it all!

This is a very handy recipe. I'll have to add more water in next time I use it -- the dough ball was a bit rough and therefore harder to flatten and roll out with my pin. But it still made a very nice crust for my pie filling! Thank you!
