• Mix cold water and vinegar together in a small measuring cup. Add 1/2 the mixture to the food processor; pulse a few times. Add additional mixture until dough comes together slightly. Divide dough in 1/2. Wrap each 1/2 in plastic wrap and form into discs. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Roll out second piece of dough into another 12-inch circle; cut into 1-inch strips. Pour pie filling into the crust and use dough strips to form a lattice pattern on top. Remove any excess overhanging dough and crimp the edges to seal.
