Appleberry Pie

Directions

1. 1
   About an hour before beginning the recipe, place the olive oil in a plastic container.
2. 2
   For best results, use a thin, light container, like the kind used for takeout food.
3. 3
   Freeze the oil until it is opaque and congealed but still somewhat soft, like the consistency of slightly melted sorbet.
4. 4
   If it gets too frozen, thats O.K.
5. 5
   ; just let it thaw a bit so that you can work with it.
6. 6
   In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour and salt.
7. 7
   Working quickly, add the olive oil by the tablespoonful, cutting it into the flour with your fingers or a pastry cutter, until the flour appears pebbly.
8. 8
   In a cup, mix together 4 tablespoons of the ice water with the apple cider vinegar.
9. 9
   Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the water and vinegar mixture into the dough and stir, using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
10. 10
    Add more water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together to form a soft ball.
11. 11
    Take care not to knead the dough too much.
12. 12
    Divide the dough in two.
13. 13
    Press each half into a disk about an inch thick and place each disk between two 14-inch long pieces of waxed paper.
14. 14
    Using a rolling pin, roll each piece into a circle about 1/4-inch thick.
15. 15
    For a more even, uniform circle of dough, roll the pin one or two strokes outward, turn the dough a few degrees, and roll a few times again and repeat.
16. 16
    Repeat with the other half of the dough.
17. 17
    Refrigerate the rolled dough wrapped in waxed paper until it is ready to use, or as directed in the recipe.
