More and more people like Tyson are singing the praises of a vegan diet and with good reason. It seems only yesterday that those who chose to embark on a vegan diet found themselves on the periphery of society. Today, thanks to celebrity converts and more restaurant and food choices, the diet is a completely realistic way of living and that’s a good thing for the planet as well considering that it takes up to 16 pounds of soybeans and grains to produce 1 pound of beef and 3 to 6 pounds to produce 1 pound of turkey and egg. Eating grains directly makes a huge difference.

Ingredients for Pastry Dough:
2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons vegan butter, chilled and diced
6 tablespoons vegetable shortening
6 tablespoons ice water
For Apple Filling:
4 pounds or 8 cups apples (Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and sliced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons + 1 tablespoon vegan butter, melted
1 tablespoon almond milk
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Whisk together flour, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add in small pieces of vegan butter. Use a fork to cut the vegan butter into the flour until it forms a coarse cornmeal mixture.
Mix in water a little at a time and toss with hands until you are able to form the dough into a ball.
Create 2 round disk of equal size with the dough and place it in the freezer until needed (no more than 30 minutes).
In a large bowl, toss apple slices with lemon juice.
Add brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the bowl and toss again until apples are well coated.
Place one pie dough disk onto floured parchment paper.
Line a 9 inch pie round with 1 pie dough crust and arrange apples inside.
Roll out the dough to a 12 inch circle measured across and repeat for the second pie crust round.
Slice 2 tablespoons of vegan butter into small pieces and dot atop the apples.
Place the second pie dough crust on top of the pie filling and cuts slits for ventilation.
Seal the edges by pressing the two pie dough crust together. Any crust hanging an inch or more over the pie pan edge should be removed with a knife as excess. Tuck the remaining crust beneath itself so that it fits neatly around the rim.
Use the excess dough to create a Pi symbol. Place Pi symbol on top of the pie.
Melt 1 tablespoon of vegan butter and mix with almond milk. Brush melted vegan butter and almond milk over the top crust.
Bake the vegan apple pie at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes.
Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and bake 40-45 minutes more until the crust is golden brown and you can hear to filling bubbling.
Do not burn your tongue trying to devour this masterpiece. Allow it too cool slightly before giving in to temptation.
