Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix until evenly distributed.
-
Add cold, diced unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter visible.
-
In a small bowl, beat the large egg. Add the beaten egg and ice water to the flour and butter mixture.
-
Gently knead the dough until it forms a cohesive ball, being careful not to overwork it.
-
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle large enough to line a pie or tart pan, ensuring even thickness.
-
Transfer the rolled dough to the pie or tart pan, pressing gently into edges and sides. Trim excess dough.
-
Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until light golden brown.
-
Remove from oven and let cool completely before filling.
