Vegan Pie Crust
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup almond butter
- 2 tbsp applesauce
- 1 cup all purpose flour or almond flour
- 1/2 c whole-wheat flour
- 1/2 tea salt, optional
- 1/2 tbsp sugar or coconut sugar
- 4 tbsp ice cold water
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the applesauce and almond butter. Spread this mixture on a plate or container and place in the freezer until it hardens.
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, salt and sugar. Stir to combine.
- Add the frozen almond butter mixture to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut the almond butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Slowly add the water. Use a spatula to work it into the flour mixture.
- Knead the dough briefly until it comes together to form a ball.
- Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie dough to form a 12-inch circle that is about 1/4-inch thick.
- Place the rolled dough in the pie pan carefully and smooth it out.
- With a small knife, trim the extra overhand of the crust. Crimp the edges with a fork or flute the edges with your fingers.
- If using for a no-bake pie, bake the crust at 400° for approximately 15-17 minutes.
