Hi, grannyB! Your welcome! I have never used anything but Crisco for shortening and after extensively researching the best pie crusts and sampling others' opinions, I came to the conclusion most people don't like shortening or Lard in their crusts. Nine out of ten prefer butter/margarine better. That's not a pic of my pie, but I'm very creative with dough and could very well pass for one of mine. I've never used store bought pie crusts before. I simply prefer doing things by hand best of all. Hope you'll try it, it may be better than Pillsbury. Have made this recipe tons of times and it's never failed me yet. Enjoy!
