Pi day!

For pi day I am making a caramel apple crumb pie.  I'm going off a recipe for this, but may change the spices.
For the crust:
1 1/2 cups flour, I sifted mine
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, cut into 1/2 cubes and cooled or frozen
4 tbsp ice water
Whisk the dry ingredients, then add the cubes butter.  Using your hands squeeze the butter and mix.  Keep doing this unrolled the largest chunk of butter is about pea sized.  The picture shows how mine looked after this step.  Add ice water and mix, just unrolled it comes together, I used about 2 tablespoons.  4 tbsp is 1/4 cup by the way.
