Vegan Apple Pie Crust

Ingredients

• 12 tbsp of chilled vegan butter (I use Earth Balance)
• 8 tbsp of chilled vegan shortening (I use Earth Balance) SEE NOTE
• 3 cups of all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting the rolling surface
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
• 6-10 tablespoons of ice water

Instructions

1. Cut the butter and shortening into small cubes, put them in a bowl and place them in the freezer while you’re measuring out the rest of the ingredients.
2. Put the flour, butter, shortening, sugar, salt, and vinegar in a mixing bowl and mix on medium speed until the butter and shortening start to break up and the mixture looks lumpy and sandy. Add one tablespoon of water at a time until the dough starts to form a ball.
3. Remove the dough from the bowl and knead into a disc on a floured surface. Fold the disc in half and knead. Repeat one or two more times until the dough sticks together in a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
