VEGAN Oil Pie Crust
My Flaky Oil Pie crust recipe is my main go to pie crust recipe for my pies. Not only is this recipe super easy it’s also vegan, which really is a plus because it means you don’t run the risk of over handling it the way you could a butter based pie crust. Use this pie crust to make your favorite pie either savory or sweet! Blind bake your pie crust to make a no bake pie such an ice cream pie using my Cookies and Cream Ice Cream, or a Chocolate Mousse Pie. Or make half of my Spinach Squares recipe for a delicious savory cheesy spinach pie!
