PROCESS MARIE CALLENDER'S SMALL APPLE PIES

摘要

When Thanksgiving afternoon rolls around and you need extra pies fast (hello, uninvited in-laws), your grocery store is probably your best bet. Food giant ConAgra produces the Marie Callender's brand you'll find in the freezer case, and it makes a lot of them-some 210,000 single-serve (perfect for sending a passive-aggressive message to gate-crashers) apple pies a day at its Council Bluffs, Iowa, facility. How? Huge cubes of shortening, for starters.
