Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter (cubed)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup ice-cold water

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add cubed cold butter and blend using a pastry blender or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. In a measuring cup, mix apple cider vinegar with ice-cold water. Gradually pour this into the dry mixture, mixing until it forms a dough. Avoid overworking it; form into two disks.
  3. Wrap the disks in foil and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  4. Roll out one disk between two sheets of parchment paper until slightly larger than your pie dish. Fit into the greased dish and chill again while you prepare your filling.
