Cut the butter into small cubes.
½ cup salted butter
Place the butter cubes, flour, and salt into a food processor.
1½ cups all-purpose flour, ⅛ tsp kosher salt
Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add 1 tbsp of water to the dough and pulse a couple times.
4-5 tbsp ice water
Continue adding 1 tbsp of water at a time until the dough begins to form a ball.
Transfer the dough to the counter and form into a ball.
Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at 30 minutes before using.
Roll out the dough with a rolling pin into a large circle about ⅛-inch thick.
Line a 9-inch pie pan with the crust. Cut away any excess dough from the edges.
Fill with pie filling and bake according to the recipe.

Nutritional information is for ⅛ of a single pie crust.
Crimp the edges. Press your thumbs around the edges for a simple crimp, or use a fork or pinch with your fingers.
Blind bake correctly. If blind baking, fill the crust with pie weights, beans, or sugar. Docking (pricking with a fork) isn’t necessary unless you skip weights.
Blind bake timing. Bake at 450°F for about 10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
