Instructions

Make the crust: Whisk together the flour, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt in a large bowl. Add the cold dairy free butter cubes and work them in with your fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining. Drizzle in ice water 1 tbsp at a time, tossing with a fork, until the dough just holds together when pressed — stop before it becomes sticky. Shape into a disk, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Drape it over a 9-inch pie dish, press it gently into the bottom and sides, and trim the overhang to about 1 inch. Fold the edge under and crimp as desired. Prick the bottom all over with a fork, line with parchment, and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
