Total Time 25 minutes
Servings: 1 pie
Course: Dessert, Main Course, Snack
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g flour all-purpose
  • 100 g coconut oil cold / hard
  • pinch salt
  • 20 g sugar
  • 4-5 tbsp plant milk or as needed

Method
 

  1. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. Add coconut oil and knead to create a crumbly texture.
  3. Add milk, starting with 3 tbsp and adding more as needed. Knead to create a soft, yet firm ball of dough.
  4. Roll it out so it's 3-5 mm thick. See the instructions above to learn how to do it.
  5. Then take the dough and place it to a greased pie tin. Adjust and remove the remaining dough.
  6. In case you're using a non-bake filling for your pie, pre-bake the dough. Place a bit of parchment paper into the pie tin, ontop of pie crust. Weigh it down with ceramic balls or dried legumes and bake for 10 minutes at 180°C. Then remove the weighs and bake for another 5-7 minutes. Let it cool down before adding your non-bake filling.
  7. If you're using a filling that bakes, then proceed without prebaking your pie crust. Add the filling and bake as the pie filling instructions say.
