Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold and cut into small cubes)
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar (optional, for added tenderness)

Directions

Step 1

1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Pulse a few times to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

2. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the food processor. Pulse 8-10 times, or until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter scattered throughout.

Step 3

3. In a small bowl, combine the ice water with the apple cider vinegar (if using). With the food processor running on low speed, drizzle the liquid into the dry ingredients, one tablespoon at a time. Continue until the dough begins to clump together; you may not need all of the liquid.

Step 4

4. Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface. Divide it into two equal portions, shaping each into a flat disc. Wrap both discs tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before rolling out. This allows the gluten to relax and the butter to firm up, ensuring a flaky crust.

Step 5

5. When ready to use, remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness, then use as needed for your pie recipe.

Step 6

6. Bake your pie according to your recipe's instructions and enjoy your perfectly flaky, fantabulous crust!
