Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup chilled and cubed butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup ice water
Your favorite fruit filling (e.g., apples, berries, peaches)
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled butter cubes and use a pastry cutter to blend the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and vanilla extract together. Slowly add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until the dough starts to come together.
Gradually add the ice water, a little at a time, and mix until the dough forms a ball. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a disk. Wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one of the dough disks on a floured surface and place it in a pie dish. Add your favorite fruit filling on top.
Roll out the second dough disk and place it over the filling. Seal the edges and make a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake the pie for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow it to cool before serving.
