for crust:
Start making the bottom crust:
Combine 1.5 cups flour and 1/2 salt. Add 1/2 cup of oil and mix in 2 TB soy milk. Mix in with the flour and salt. I like to add a handful of ground flax seed for my omegas. Roll out until it's a bit wider than pie pan. You can roll it in between 2 pieces of parchment paper so it won't stick. Peel off the top. Then turn the pie pan on top of it, top down. Flip in one swift move and peel the paper. It should go in nice and easy.



Slice apples and make the filling.

Just combine 2/3 cups sugar, 1/3 cups flour and the cinamon and nutmeg. Mix it all together. Throw in the apples in a bowl and pour the flour mixture, leaving a bit for the top.



It would be nice if you have more than six apples because six is the perfect amount. And someone is bond to steal some apples.

You want to overfill the pan because the apples will cook down.

Make the top. Crust is the same way as the bottom. You can either just put the crust on top. It's a bit trickier since you can't do the upside down trick. Or you can make it all pretty and take your time to slice the crust and piece it in a pretty checkerboard shape.



I chose just to slap it on top. Of course it didn't work as beautifully as the bottom so it was more like pieced it on top and tried to close in the gaps.

Bake it in the oven on 450 for 40 to 45 minutes and voila! Home made apple pie.

Hope you have a delicious Pi Day!
