Recipe Notes

  • Since this pie does not contain eggs, it will take a while for the pie to solidify.
  • Be sure to dress your pie crust with a pie crust shield to prevent the crust from burning.
  • Add the water slowly to the pie dough until holds together.
  • Let the pie dough sit for at least 30 minutes in the fridge before you roll it out.
