Here is your new go-to vegan Pie Crust, featuring leftover almond pulp. Add your favorite filling, bake and enjoy!
Serving: 1 10-inch pie crust
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine flour, pressed almond pulp, sugar, and salt. Whisk together.
Step 2
Add cold cubed vegan butter, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter, gently incorporate the butter into the flour. Do not over-mix the dough; this leads to gummy crust instead of flaky crust. Visible pea-sized bits of butter are normal and expected. Gently pat the dough into a ball. Chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 10-inch pie pan or use a non-stick pie pan.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Gently roll the dough into a 12-inch circle using a rolling pin. Again, visible specks of butter are normal and expected.
Step 5
Gently transfer the dough to the pie pan. Press it into the dish and up the sides. Crimp the edges to decorate.
Step 6
Add a pie filling of choice, then bake for 30-40 minutes. Alternatively, pierce the bottom/sides of the crust with a fork and add pie crust weights. Bake for 30-40 minutes, then cool.
