So, last night I baked a pie. Despite the fact that making homemade pie crusts is a very simple task, I still used a pre-made crust for the bottom. I'm lazy. For the top lattice crust, I used the pie crust recipe from The Joy of Vegan Baking. The apple pie filling recipe is also from The Joy of Vegan Baking. Overall, this was a tasty pie. The granny smiths were nice and tart. I know I've been hard on this cookbook in the past, and I'm afraid that once again I was unmoved by a recipe from it. Even after sitting overnight, the pie filling simply did not firm up. I don't know what it is, but every recipe I try from JOVB is lackluster at best. And I see other bloggers raving about it, so it must be me! But I will give it this one credit, which is the lattice crust was perfect. Nice and flaky!
Mmm... pie.
Regardless, we still got some nice hot apples and crust to enjoy with a scoop of vanilla So Delicious. How bad could that be?

Dude, that crust looks rad! Mmm apple pie... I bet your house smells as good as that pie looks too!
You're not alone; I gave up on the Joy of Vegan Baking long, long ago.
Yeah, I really despise that cookbook. I haven't cracked it open in quite some time.
The pie looks beautiful though and everything goes great with vanilla So Delicious!
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with JOVB troubles. I haven't even posted about many of the mishaps I've had with this book, it's too depressing.
But I do stand by that top crust, though. Good stuff.
mmm...looks yummy! i haven't done much with jovb. the classic scones are really nice. the banana crumble was good and also a nice vehicle for vanilla soy ice cream. i didn't like the blueberry cobbler.
the crust is really impressive at least! And I think "pah" is exactly how Cartman would pronounce this.
hate to say it, but +1 on the lack of JOVB success stories.
That looks amazing!
Totally digging the crust!
Get in the kitchen and bake me a pah!
