Ingredients you will need

Butter

Add 6 tablespoons of the vinegar water and pulse 6 times. The dough should start to look crumbly. Test the dough by squeezing a small amount in the palm of your hand. If it easily holds together, it is done. If not, add 1/2 tablespoon of the vinegar water and pulse 3 more times. Repeat this process as needed until the dough holds together.

Lightly coat a 9-inch pie tin with cooking spray and dust with flour. Rotate the tin to coat the side. Turn the tin over and tap out any excess flour.

All Purpose Flour

Pick the dough circle up firmly by the edges and center onto the prepared pie tin. Tap the pie tin on the counter several times until the dough settles into it. Gently press the dough into the corners of the pie tin with your fingertips.

Dough

Crimp the shell: Gently roll the edges of the pie dough under, with your thumb and index finger resting the rolled edge on the rim of the tin. Be careful not to pull the dough up out of the pie tin as you go. This will cause the shell to sink back into the tin as it bakes and leave you with a too-short pie crust.

Grab the edge of the pie shell with the thumb and index finger of each hand, about an inch apart. Bring your right hand toward you and to the left as you push your left hand away from you and to the right.

Ingredients you will need

Pie Crust

Place your left hand 1/2 inch to the right of the first crimp and repeat the process until you have worked your way around the pie shell.

Ingredients you will need

Pie Crust

Place your index finger behind each crimp and squeeze the point on the outside of the pie shell with your thumb and index finger. Because our pie dough is all butter, and butter softens and melts so quickly in the oven, it is important to start with as sharp and well-defined a crimp as possible.
