Recipe: Vegan Pie Crust

Vegan Pie Crust

*Yields 2 crusts

Treat yourself or some party guests to a homemade vegan pie (or two) this season. With the holidays in sight, colder weather is the perfect excuse to stay inside and bake! Whether you prefer the classic apple pie, a fruity berry blend, or creamy key lime, the options for delicious vegan pie fillings are endless. Pro tip: to achieve the creaminess of key lime, or zest up your pumpkin pie, try adding some silken tofu to the filling!

Ingredients:

2 cups Flour

¼ teaspoon Salt

2 tablespoons Sugar

1 stick vegan Butter (cold)

4-5 tablespoons Water (cold)

Directions:

-Chill the butter in the freezer for at least one hour.

-Combine flour, salt and sugar in large bowl.

-Using a large fork or a pastry cutter, mix in the cold butter until blended and slightly crumbly.

-Add the cold water, using just enough to moisten the mixture and form a dough.

-Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a ball before flattening slightly.

-Now you can wrap the dough and store in the fridge for later, or roll it out immediately and add your favorite pie filling!
