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 the cold unsalted butter and blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Mix apple cider vinegar with ice-cold water in a measuring jug. Gradually pour this mixture over the dry ingredients and stir gently until the dough forms.
  3. Shape the dough into a ball, divide it into two disks, wrap in foil, and chill in the refrigerator for one hour.
  4. After chilling, roll out one disk between two sheets of parchment paper to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Repeat with the second disk if making a double-crust pie.
