Start off using the minimum amount of water, which aids gluten development and should be used limitedly if you want to avoid your pie crust being tender. The amount of water should be enough to hold the dough together.
Once you have kneaded the dough, you must remember to chill it before rolling it. The minimum time should be 30 minutes and if you want your crust to come out amazing, then you can even keep it up for 2 days.
Before putting the dough in for baking, remember to brush the inside of the pie and the top layer with a beaten egg, to get the perfect crunchiness in the crust.
Remember to bake the crust at a higher temperature for a crispier crust. The temperature should be at least 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
