Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Pie Crust

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar.
  2. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Sprinkle ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, over the mixture, mixing gently with a fork until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork it.
  4. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 days).
