This homemade pie crust is my personal favorite and is made using a food processor, which makes cutting the butter into the flour very simple. You can make a double batch of this and freeze the individually wrapped dough for future pie-related adventures.
Ingredients
- ½ cups all-purpose flour: 2 piece
- unsalted butter - chilled, cut into tablespoon-size pieces: 1 cup
- salt: 0.5 tsp
- ice water: 7 Tbsp
- cider vinegar: 1 Tbsp

Stir ice water and vinegar in a small bowl.
-
Pour 1/2 of the ice water mixture into flour mixture; pulse to combine, about 3 (1-second) pulses. Pour in remaining ice water mixture; pulse until mixture starts to come together, about 8 (1-second) pulses. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
-
Turn dough out onto a wooden surface, pat it into a circle, and divide it in half. Form each half into a disc, about 5-inches wide. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios

Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until ready to use. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
