Easy Homemade Pie Crust

Easy Homemade Pie Crust

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

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter – chilled, cut into tablespoon-size pieces
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 7 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1
Combine flour, butter, and salt in a food processor. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 10 (1-second) pulses.

Step 2
Stir ice water and vinegar in a small bowl.

Step 3
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.

Step 4
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.

Step 5
Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until ready to use.

Step 6
Use in your favorite pie recipe.
