Basic Pie Crust
  1. In a medium sized bowl, add flour, sugar and salt and whisk together to combine.

  2. Next add your butter cubes to flour and using your pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until various sized crumbs appear.

  3. Slowly add the cold water into the flour until a ball of dough forms. Start with ½ cup and add more water if you need it. Knead the dough quickly to bring it together. Don't worry if there is any flour left in the bowl.

  4. Remove the dough from the bowl, cut into 2 sections and round into balls. Cover each ball tightly with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 35-45 minutes to rest.

  5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

  6. Remove dough from fridge and add a bit of flour to a working surface or clean counter and place dough on it. Unwrap one ball of dough. Using a rolling pin, quickly roll dough out to about ⅓ inch thickness and place on the bottom and up sides of a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  7. Add fillings and top layer of crust. Brush with egg wash and garnish with cinnamon sugar.

  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
