VeganMofo 2010: A Landscape of Apple Pie

This didn't last long!

Basic Crust (makes enough for top + bottom crust)

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup + 2TBS Earth Balance, cold
Heaping 1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 cup + 2 TBS Water

Directions:
Pulse together flour, EB, and salt until combined. Slowly drizzle in water until dough is all combined.  Wrap and chill for 1 hour in fridge.

I brushed the top crust with soy milk and sprinkled a little sugar on it before putting it in the oven, and then once again when there was 15 minutes of cooking time left.

VeganMoFo Day 12: Mini Apple Pie!

Oh it is apple pie season all right! I just got some cute little mini tart pans and just HAD to whip up some mini apple pies. I'm being bombarded with apples and pears in my CSA, so expect lots of baked fruit in the next month or so. I used the crust recipe from the Heart-shaped Apple Galette recipe in Veganomicon, and brushed some earth balance over it for optimal browning (this crust is sooo flaky!) Oh, and yes, that is Fox Mulder peeking in, for some size reference and to check for any paranormal activity.
