Method
 

Crust Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
  2. Cut very cold unsalted butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse sand.
  3. Chill this mixture along with the water and apple cider vinegar in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
Forming and Chilling Dough
  1. Gradually add ice-cold water and apple cider vinegar to the chilled mixture, gently mixing until just combined.
  2. Form the dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Blind Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough until it’s large enough for your pie dish.
  2. Transfer the dough to the dish, trim any excess, and chill again for 15 minutes.
  3. Line with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Blind bake for 15-20 minutes.
Making Brownie Filling

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and both sugars until pale. Gradually mix melted chocolate into egg mixture.
  3. Sift in cocoa powder and remaining ingredients until just combined.
