Do you have to use shortening vegetables for apple pie?

Is the question about "vegetable shortening"? In apple pie filling, a small amount of butter (about 2 Tablespoons) NOT shortening, should be used to "dot" the top of the filling before the top crust is applied. For any pie crust, including crust for apple pie, butter or lard, or a combination of both, may be used instead of vegetable shortening. There are also recipes for crust made with vegetable oil, which produce a slightly different type of crust with a crumbly texture.

Why should emulsifier shortening not be used for pie dough?

Emulsifier shortening should not be used for pie dough because it can lead to a less flaky texture. The emulsifiers in shortening can interfere with the formation of distinct layers of fat and flour, which are essential for achieving the desired flakiness in pie crusts. Additionally, emulsifier shortening may result in a dough that is too soft, making it difficult to handle and shape properly. For optimal results, traditional butter or lard is preferred for their ability to create a tender and flaky crust.
