In a food processor, pulse together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt until combined.
Cut 1 cup of cold unsalted butter into small pieces. While the food processor is running, add the butter a few pieces at a time until combined.
Gradually add 3-4 tablespoons of cold water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together to form a ball. If needed, add more water a tablespoon at a time.
Divide the dough into two equal parts. Form each piece into a flat disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.
When ready to make the pie, remove the dough from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to soften.
On a floured surface, roll out the first piece of dough into a 10-inch circle. Fold the dough in half, then in half again, and transfer it to a pie pan. Unfold and press the dough into the bottom of the pan.
Roll the edges of the dough towards the center to create a double layer, then press gently to shape the crust. Use your fingers to scallop the edges.
Poke a few holes in the bottom of the crust with a fork, then place the prepared crust in the fridge while making the filling.
