Notes

Tips for Making the Dough:
- Make sure to use cold butter and ice-cold water when making the dough. This will help create a flaky crust.
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface and make sure it is thin enough to fit in the pie plate.
- If you have extra dough, you can use it to make decorations for the top of the pie.
