How to Make Somebody's Mother's Mother's Pie Crust
- Whisk together flour and salt in a large bowl.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the ice water and apple cider vinegar (if using), a tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to your desired thickness.
- Carefully transfer the dough to your pie plate.
- Trim and crimp the edges.
- Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
