📝 Preparation Steps
1
Pie Crust
2
Add flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg in a food processor and pulse to mix everything together.
3
Add butter in the food processor and pulse a few times until pieces of butter are very small (almost the size of a pea).

4
Add 6 tbsp of very cold water and pulse again. Add additional 1 tbsp water at a time, if necessary, until dough just begins to hold together and is not too sticky.
5
Transfer the dough to a table and use your hands to form it into a ball. Don't over-mix or else the dough will become tough! You should be able to still see pieces of butter in the dough. That's normal and you need that!
