Equipment

Ingredients

312 grams bleached all-purpose flour
15 mL granulated sugar
5 mL Diamond Crystal fine kosher salt
173 grams unsalted butter cut into cubes, very cold
100 mL water cold

Metric - US

Instructions

In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and pulse to form a coarse crumble.
Add the water and pulse it in, then let the food processor run just until the dough comes together. I bought my Cuisinart Food Processor on Amazon.
Divide the dough in two and transfer both pieces to your work surface. Shape each piece into a disk. Wrap both in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour before rolling out on a floured surface with a rolling pin.

Notes

This recipe calls for Diamond Crystal fine Kosher salt. If using regular table salt, add half the amount or the recipe may be too salty!
This recipe makes a double-crust pie. You can halve this recipe to make a single-crust pie, or use half now and freeze the other half for later, wrapped tightly in 2 layers of plastic wrap and stored in a freezer bag with the air removed.
If the dough gets too warm at any point, put it in the fridge.
