Perfecting Pie Crusts 🥧

[theyoungthug]

Baking pies is a delightful pastime, and perfecting the pie crust has been my mission. I’ve learned that using cold butter, chilling the dough, and not overworking it are key to achieving a flaky crust. My apple pie with a lattice top is always a crowd-pleaser. What’s your secret to a perfect pie crust?

Hi. The secret to a perfect pie crust is to use cold butter and ice water, and to avoid overworking the dough. This helps create a flaky, tender crust.

Totally agree—cold butter and chilling the dough are game changers! For me, the secret is adding a splash of apple cider vinegar to the dough. It helps keep the crust tender and prevents overdeveloping the gluten.
