How to Make Best Ever Pie Crust
- Whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar in a large bowl.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed, and ½ cup vegetable shortening, chilled and cubed, using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar and 3 tablespoons ice water.
- Gradually add the vinegar mixture to the flour mixture, mixing gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 days).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer to a 9-inch pie plate.
- Add your favorite pie filling and top with the other crust (or lattice top, etc.).
- Bake according to your pie filling's instructions. (approx. 20 mins for the crust itself)
