How to Make Vegan Pie Crust
- Step 1: Combine ingredients in a food processor
Combine coconut flour, cold coconut oil, coconut sugar, and salt in a food processor with "S" blade. Pulse a few times until it looks like a "coarse meal".
- Step 2: Add Ice cold water and process
Add 3-4 tablespoons of ice-cold water with the food processor running. Stop once it begins to clump together. You might want to add another tablespoon of water to bring it all together.
- Step 3: Shape the dough
Place the dough on a lightly floured kitchen surface. Use your hands to shape the dough in the form of a ball.
- Step 4: Roll the dough and transfer to pie plate
Use a rolling pin to roll the dough to about 12-inch diameter. Wrap the dough around your rolling pin and unroll it into a pie plate.
Flute the edges and use your fingers to tuck the pie crust all around the pie dish. If there is any excess dough around the edges, you can trim it off.
You can use the pie crust immediately or refrigerate until it's ready. In this recipe, we'll need two pie crusts (one for the top and one for the bottom). In that case, you can double this recipe.
You can use this Vegan Pie crust for tarts like - Homemade High Protein Pop Tarts, or Asparagus Tart with Puff Pastry or Galletes like - Cherry Almond Galette or Tartlets recipes like - Strawberry Lemon Tartlets and Mini Apple Tarts - Mini Condensed Milk Apple Tarts

Why didn't I use Vegan Butter?
The thing is I'm allergic to Vegan Butter therefore I've use coconut oil [solid] in stead of Vegan Butter.
When I was beginning with the recipe I was quite apprehensive about the fact, that the dough might turn out sticky.
But, when the dough turns sticky, it simply means that you gotta add more flour.

Why did my Pie crust shrink when I baked?
Your Pie crust will shrink when you don't chill your fresh pie crust for at least 45-minutes in the refrigerator.
To avoid this, always ensure that you refrigerate your pie crust for at least 45-minutes before baking.
Can I use Store bought Pie crust?
You can use storebought pie crust but it won't taste as good. If you want to use store bought pie crust ensure the ingredients are vegan-friendly.
What Kind of Apples do I suggest?
I would go with gala apples, hands down. But, when I want it to be lightly tarty, I like to combine 3 green granny smith apples with 6 gala apples.
How to Store and Reheat Apple Pie?
Refrigerator: Store your Vegan Apple Pie in the refrigerator after covering it lightly with a plastic wrap. It'll stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
You can keep it covered at room temperature for 24-hours and it'll be fresh. But it also depends on where you are staying and your climate.
Freezer: To freeze leftover Apple Pie, I suggest cutting them into individual slices and wrapping each one of them in a plastic wrap. To prevent them from freezer burns, double wrap with aluminum foil.
You can store the Apple Pie slices in a tightly covered freezer-safe box for up to 3-months.
Reheat: Allow the Apple Pie to thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Microwave for 7-10 minutes or until it's ready to eat.
