Do you use cold shortening and butter?
I've been using 1/3 lard and 2/3 butter + sugar + apple cider
Plus ending up with a cream, sugar, & cinnamon dusting during the final minutes of baking.
I'm pretty sure I'm not making a "real" crust anymore...this is probably closer to a "sweet pastry" or whatever that fancier French term is...(I'll google in a minute). But we're happy with it.
I never liked dry, bland crust...or even worse: salty, dry crust. Although from a calorie viewpoint, it was better when the crusts were terrible because I ate the filling and left behind the crust. Now it's all gone.
