- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Crisco Butter Flavor All-Vegetable Shortening

- Add your favorite pie filling to the prepared crust.
- Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Seal the edges of the crust by crimping with your fingers or using a fork.
- Cut several slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
