In 1-cup measuring cup, beat 1 egg yolk, vinegar and 3 tablespoons water with fork. With food processor running, quickly pour egg mixture through feed tube, and process a few seconds until dough begins to come together. (Add additional water if necessary.) Remove dough; shape into flattened disk. Cover with plastic wrap; set aside.

Heat oven to 425°F. To make Filling, in medium bowl, beat eggs lightly with whisk or hand beater. Beat in remaining filling ingredients until well blended; set aside.

Remove plastic wrap from dough. On 12-inch square of cooking parchment paper lightly sprinkled with flour blend, roll dough into 11-inch circle. Carefully center ungreased 9-inch pie plate over circle. Turn crust and pie plate over to place crust into pie plate. Remove paper. Ease crust into pan, repairing any tears with wet fingers.
