There’s no better way to end (or start!) a meal than with a slice of apple pie. Thanks to this vegan apple pie recipe, everyone at the table will be able to dig in. Here’s how to make this crowd-pleasing treat without dairy or eggs.<\/p>\n

How to make a vegan crust for vegan apple pie<\/h2>\n

To make any pie crust recipe vegan, you’ll want to use vegetable shortening as your fat of choice. Unlike butter, which is 80% fat, 15% water and 5% milk solids, shortening is 100% fat. So substituting equal amounts of shortening for butter will yield a lighter-textured pastry. This can<\/em> be delicious, but it’s best to multiply the butter amount by 0.8 to determine a more accurate amount of shortening needed.<\/p>\n

You can also make a vegan crust recipe<\/a> that explicitly calls for shortening instead of butter, which should help simplify your baking!<\/p>\n

Editor’s Tip<\/em>: Make the crust the day before you start baking.<\/p>\n
