Add 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 tsp salt into the food processor.

Pulse the mixture three or four times to combine.

Add 1 cup of very cold, cubed unsalted butter to the food processor.

Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with specks of butter throughout, about 8 times.

Drizzle 1 tbsp of vinegar into the mixture and pulse a few times to combine.

Add 6 tbsp of ice cold water and process until the dough comes together.

Flour the counter surface and bring the dough together without kneading it.

Cut the dough in half to form two discs.

Wrap each disc in plastic wrap, ensuring they are well covered to avoid air exposure.

Refrigerate the wrapped discs for at least 30 to 45 minutes.

Flour the counter again and roll out one disc to about an 11-inch round.

Roll the dough onto the rolling pin and transfer it to the pie plate, gently pressing it down.

Trim the excess dough around the edges and crimp the edges using fingers or a fork.

For the top crust, roll out the second disc to a 10-inch round.
