Recipe Notes
Apple Cider Vinegar: This ingredient helps the dough keep from oxidizing which is helpful, especially if you are making it ahead.
Tip: The trick is not to over blend the pie crust, less is more, you can just use the pulse setting and scrape down the sides partway if you need to.
Storage: This recipe can store for up to 3 days in the refrigerator and up to 6 months in the freezer. Wrap it tightly (air-tight) with plastic or other storage wrap and then store it in a container or silicone food bag, making sure to press the excess air out.
Tip: When you are working the dough, make sure to not let it get too warm, always chill in the fridge for a 1/2 hour between the steps of working with it in a recipe.

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cubed, chilled) *see notes
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or the same amount of lemon juice), see notes
Instructions
- In a food processor, add the flour and salt and cover, and then pulse a few times to combine. Add the cold butter and pulse until combined. The consistency should be similar to sand. Place the top back on, remove the top piece where you can pour in a liquid, slowly add the ice water and apple cider vinegar mixture, as the dough is processed until a ball is formed. Stop immediately. Remove the pie dough from the food processor and use in a recipe right away or wrap it up and store it for when you need it. Enjoy!
