Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup vegan butter
- 3 tablespoons ice-cold water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups mixed nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds, etc.)
- 0.75 cup maple syrup
- 0.5 cup coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 6 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt for the crust. Add the vegan butter and mix using a fork or pastry cutter until you have a crumbly mixture.
2. Add the ice-cold water one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
4. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the dish, trim excess dough, and flute the edges.
5. In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed and water to create a flax egg. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
6. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the maple syrup, coconut sugar, and coconut oil. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
7. Stir the flax egg into the cooled syrup mixture, then add the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon.
8. Place the mixed nuts in the prepared pie crust. Pour the syrup mixture over the nuts, ensuring all nuts are coated.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
10. Cool the pie on a wire rack before serving to allow the filling to firm up.
11. Slice and serve as desired. Enjoy your Vegan Classic Nut Pie!
