My aunt swears by adding vinegar to pie crust.

Is vinegar in pie crust a good idea?

Understand the doubt. Vinegar in pie crust sounds weird but it works. It keeps the dough from getting chewy. My family swears by it too.

Vinegar is the best trick for tender crust. My family has used it for years, and it really works.

Vinegar just makes it taste weird.

Grandma's recipe uses vinegar, @garcia.riley, but for flakiness over tenderness.
