Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
1 cup all-purpose flour divided
3 tbl ice water
1/2 tsp cider vinegar
1 tbl powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions:
Instructions: Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly spoon 1 cup flour into a dry measuring cup; level with knife. Place flour, sugar, and salt in food processor; pulse 2 times or until combined. Add shortening; pulse 10 times or until mixture is combined. Add ice water and vinegar through food chute, pulsing just until combined ( mixture wont form a ball). Gently press mixture into a 4-inch circle on heavy-duty plastic wrap; cover with additional plastic wrap. Roll dough, still covered, into a 12-inch circle; freeze 10 minutes.

Remove 1 sheet of plastic wrap; let stand 1 minute or until pliable. Fit dough into a 9-inch round pie plate or 9-inch round removable-bottom tart pan. Remove top sheet of plastic wrap. Press the dough against bottom and sides of pan. Fold edges under or flute decoratively. Arrange pie weights on a piece of foil in bottom of dough; bake at 400F for 20 minutes or until edge is lightly browned. Remove pie weights and foil; cool on a wire rack.

NOTES : This is not intended to be served alone. When filled with a very lowfat pie filling, the %CFF are acceptable.
