I finally asked my grandma for her pie crust recipe

Last Thanksgiving I watched my 82 year old grandma make her famous apple pie. She used her hands to mix everything, no mixer or food processor. She told me the trick is to barely add any water and let the dough rest for 30 minutes in the fridge. I tried it last week and my crust came out flaky for the first time ever. Has anyone else learned a simple trick from an older baker that changed their baking?

My 91 year old neighbor insists on using ice water and a food processor for her perfect crust every time.
