First, make sure the butter is very cold and cut it into small cubes. Then add the butter and the remaining ingredients to a large food processor or blender and gently pulse about 10 times. Do not fully blend the mixture. The goal is to lightly combine the ingredients.

Next, transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and use your hands to work the dough together. As you handle the dough, the butter will begin to soften slightly from the warmth of your hands. Continue working the dough until everything fully comes together, then shape it into a ball.

Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for several hours. For best results, refrigerate the dough overnight.

When you are ready to make your pie, divide the dough ball into two equal portions. Use one half for the bottom crust and the other half for the top crust.

Roll the first portion of dough into a large circle. Carefully place it into a pie dish and pinch the edges along the top of the crust.

For a lattice top, roll the second portion of dough into a large circle. Then use a pizza cutter to cut several strips of dough and gently weave them back and forth across the top of the pie to create the lattice pattern.

Finally, bake the pie according to the temperature and baking time listed in your pie recipe.
