Homemade Pie crust

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter, cut into 1/2″ pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
  • 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 4 Tbsp. ice water (or more, if needed)
  • Directions:

    1. Place butter and flour into freezer for 30 minutes before starting crust process (you want them as cold as possible).
    2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter and, using your hands, mix together until pea-sized and some slightly larger pieces form. Add vinegar and then ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough starts to come together and is moist but not wet and sticky. Mixture will be crumbly.
    3. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and form into a ball. Flatten into a disk, making sure there are no/minimal cracks.
    4. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until dough is very cold, at least 2 hours or up to overnight. This recipe doubles easily if making top crust.
