Pie Crust

Prepare the Pie Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and mix with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add Ice Water
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together but is not sticky. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit your pie dish. Transfer it to the dish and trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.

Prepare the Fruit Filling
