The secret ingredient? Vodka.
Seriously, it's magic. We read about the trick in this Cook's Illustrated recipe, which rightfully calls itself "foolproof."
The vodka works for two reasons. First, it makes the dough feel way more moist and easier to work with. Second, the ethanol in the vodka stops the __gluten in the flour from binding, making for a more tender end product.
And since we know you're wondering, yes, the alcohol cooks off, so there's no need to worry about a) your pie tasting weird or b) getting your kids drunk.
