In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar.
Add the chilled, diced butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together but isn’t sticky.
Gather the dough into a ball, flatten it into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Roll out the chilled disc to about 1/8-inch thickness on a floured surface.
Carefully place your rolled-out crust into a pie pan, letting the excess hang over the edges.
Trim any excess overhang and crimp the edges.
Poke holes in the bottom and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden.

Chill your tools for a flakier texture. You can add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the flour for extra flavor.
