Add vinegar, 2 tablespoons of iced water, and mix with a spatula. Using your hands, shape the dough into a flat circle. If the dough is too dry or crumbles apart, add an additional 1 tablespoon of water and mix. Repeat as needed until the dough holds together. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour.

When the dough is ready, place the dough on a lightly floured board. Use a rolling pin to flatten dough into a 12" circle about 3/16” thick.

Carefully transfer the dough to the pie dish. Trim the excess dough, and pinch the edges to form a crust. Using a fork, poke holes evenly on the bottom of the crust to allow steam to escape and keep the crust from bubbling up. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for another hour.

Tip: To transfer the dough into the pie dish, roll up the dough to a lightly floured rolling pin. Starting at the top of the pie dish, unroll the dough, adjusting it to the center of the pie dish.
