This recipe makes a sweet dough that is perfect for fruit pies or tarts. A bit of sugar, an egg and vinegar make this dough different from the traditional, but the end result is pastry that is manageable and flaky. Try adding a bit of lemon zest if you 're feeling adventurous.

This is an easy crust to make ahead and the amounts match the package sizes so there is no need to measure anything! These freeze great. Making pies is easy as all you have to do is thaw the crust and roll.
