The directions read to add margarine, but there is no margarine listed in the ingredients. I went to Luby's site and there is also no mention of margarine in the ingredients -- so I used 1 stick, melted, of butter. The pie turned out great and is very sweet, so a little slice with real whipped cream on top is enough to satisfy. Very good. Thanks for posting.
