An extensive Cook’s Illustrated project determined you need vodka. Baking does drive me to drink, BUT in this case the vodka goes in the dough. Apparently the alcohol cooking off forces the layers apart which makes for a flaky crust.
I don’t like pie. Any pie. Not a fan of crust or cooked fruit, but I do make it sometimes for family and have gotten many compliments on this drunk crust. I keep a bottle of vodka in the freezer for this. I’m not much of a drinker either and my family doesn’t know my crust secret, but my kids love telling everyone I keep a secret bottle of vodka in my freezer. They think I take a big swig from it when they are all driving me nuts. (That’s actually the Don Julio tequila in the back of the pantry but 
)
