Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, cold and cubed
For the Filling
- 1/2 cup honey (natural)
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1/3 cup almond meal
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (natural)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (natural)
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Combine all-purpose flour and cold plant-based butter in a large bowl. Mix until the mixture becomes crumbly yet cohesive. Chill the dough briefly to make rolling easier.
- Roll and Line Your Pie Dish: Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to fit your pie dish. Line the dish carefully, pressing gently along the edges to prevent cracks. Refrigerate to keep the crust firm while preparing the filling.
- Make the Honey-Spiced Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey (natural), plant-based milk, almond meal, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), ground cinnamon (natural), ground cloves (natural), and lemon zest (natural). Gradually stir in the natural gelling agent to ensure a smooth mixture that will set well during baking.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust turns golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack so the filling firms up, which makes slicing easier and enhances the texture.
Notes
- Keep the dough chilled before rolling to achieve a flaky crust.
- Use freshly ground cinnamon and cloves for optimal flavor.
- Avoid overbaking to prevent dryness remove when the edges are golden and filling just set.
- Use only natural sweeteners and extracts to maintain authentic, clean flavors.
- Allow the pie to cool fully for the filling to firm up well for neat slices.
