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 the flour and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. In a measuring jug, mix together the apple cider vinegar and ice-cold water. Slowly pour this over the dry ingredients while stirring gently until just combined.
  3. Form the dough into a ball, divide it into two disks, wrap in foil, and chill in the fridge for one hour.
  4. Roll out one disk between two sheets of parchment paper into a circle larger than your 9-inch pie dish. Fit it into the dish and chill again while preparing your filling.
