For some people, the best part of a pie is its crust. And for many, this flaky yet tasty foundation to every pie is the sweet culmination to a favorite dessert. Pie crust dough doesn't like it. When the dough begins to crack around the edges, just use your hands to form it back into the shape of a circle.

Steps to make Perfect 3-2-1 Pie Crust:

1. Cut butter into 1/2" cubes, placing them on a plate in the freezer for about 5 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, lightly knead together flour, butter cubes, and coconut oil with your hands. Do not overwork the dough, as it is necessary to keep the butter and coconut oil as solid and cold as possible. If at any point the fats start to melt, immediately place dough in the freezer until cold, then work in a small handful of flour and try again.
3. Add sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla, and knead lightly.
4. Add ice water a tablespoon at a time, gently incorporating it into the dough until it has a firm, but slightly malleable consistency.
5. Form a ball with the dough and wrap it in plastic wrap. Place in freezer for 20 minutes. Do not rush this process. Wait it out.
6. Lightly flour a countertop and remove dough from freezer and plastic wrap.
7. Divide dough in half. One half will be the bottom crust, the other will be your lattice top. With a rolling pin, separately roll each half to about 1/4" thick, and roughly 12" in diameter.
8. Place one of your two halves into an ungreased 9" pie pan, trimming the overage with a knife. Crimp edges of crust against the lip of the pie pan with a fork.
9. Cut the other half into 3/4" strips. Once you fill your pie with whatever filling you like, lay these strips across the top of your pie and brush with an egg yolk and coarse sugar if desired. Cooking time and temperature depends on the exact filling of your pie, but is generally 350° for 45-50 minutes for fruit pies.

Now, I hate trimming the pie crust from around the pan, so I usually just tuck the excess dough under the rim… No need to be perfect; just go around the pie pan.
