RECIPE:

Pie Crust:

• 2 1/2 cups gluten free 1:1 flour

• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• 3/4 cup cold vegan butter, cubed

• 1/4 cup organic vegan shortening

• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

• 1/2 cup ice water

• Whisk together flour, sugar and salt.

• Add vegan butter and shortening, and use a pastry cutter to mix well, until mixture resembles coarse sand.

• Using a stand up mixer (or wooden spoon), mix together and slowly add apple cider vinegar and cold water until dough forms.

• Separate dough into two discs and cover with plastic wrap.

• Refrigerate for an hour (or up to 3 days), and use when making pie.
