My pie crust crumbled into 14 pieces at Thanksgiving, grandma would've been horrified

Last Thursday I tried to make my grandma's famous pie crust recipe for the first time. She always made it look so easy. I followed her handwritten card exactly, chilled the butter, used ice water, everything. Pulled it out of the oven and it just fell apart when I tried to slice it. Looked like a pile of rubble on the plate. My aunt said it tasted fine but I know it wasn't right. I think my kitchen was too warm, around 78 degrees that day. Has anyone else had a crust fail from room temperature issues, or should I just stick to store bought from now on?
