Vent: My grandma's pie crust recipe took me 4 hours to get right

I wanted to make her famous apple pie from a handwritten card. The dough kept tearing when I rolled it out, so I kept adding more water. That made it tough. I finally called my mom, who said the trick is to keep everything super cold, even the flour. I had to start over three times. Does anyone else have a family recipe that's way harder than it looks?

Family recipes are always a trap (the good kind, but still).

A trap? It's just a recipe.
