5.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle.
6.
Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate and trim the edges.
7.

Tips:
For a flakier crust, use a pastry cutter or two knives to work the butter into the flour.
If the dough becomes too dry, add more ice water one tablespoon at a time.
If the dough becomes too wet, add more flour one tablespoon at a time.
To prevent the edges of the crust from burning, cover them with foil halfway through baking.
Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
