Can I use Earth Balance margarine

instead of shortening in my pie crust?
I use EB in my biscuit recipe & it works just fine.

I done it before with great success, this recipe actually subs for it and has great reviews:  http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=11462.0

Good luck!

Thanks! I will use EB in my pie crust recipe.

Now, what to fill it with? Pumpkin? Apple? Pecan?

So many pies, so big a waistline!  ;)

How about all three?  ;)
I bet apple-pecan or pumpkin-pecan would be delicious, esp. with some sort of crumb/crisp topping.  Mmm.

And before I forget (because I did in my last post), I make my crust in a food processor instead of 'cutting' it.  It works great... just make sure your food processor can handle the consistency if you want to try it out (sharp blades/good power ouput)!  I've come close to burning one out.  :P
