To Make Crust:
Mix flour, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. Cut the shortening into pieces into the dry mix until mixture is sandy. Cut/grate butter into the mix.

Add 1/4 cup ice-cold water, and mix with the dough. Continue to add water a tbsp at a time until dough stick together and forms a ball.

Put a *large* piece of plastic wrap on the counter and sprinkle with flour. Set one of the dough balls in the center and cover with another piece of plastic wrap. Roll the dough until it forms a round 13in diameter. Remove top and place in the bottom of the pie pan. Repeat process for second ball of dough.

Put filling in the bottom crust. Scatter the top with butter and place top crust. Pinch crusts together. Make several small slits for steam.
